I live in Indo, the land of surf. You can buy almost anything here except uber, ultra-high quality boards. I'm coming back to America for a visit in April and I want to pick up 2 boards, a HPSB and a Step Up that will as close to unbreakable as it's possible to get. I've narrowed it down to three choices, each with their own pluses and minuses. If you're in my position, and budget is no concern, what do you pick?
XTR
+ Cheapest option, and great longevity reviews. Huge selection
- Some Quality control issues (according to reviews from this forum). Since I'll be having these shipped, can't check them myself when they arrive. By the time I can check them, if there are any issues may not be enough time to get something else ordered
Gary McNeill Ecotech TreeTech GreenTech EnviroTech WhateverTech recycled foam boards
+ Freaking beautiful, excellent reviews, admirable shaper
- Tons of beautiful alternative shapes, not many conventional shapes. Would basically mean buying two Entities. A normal entity, and an entity pin. Cool sure, but who wants to own two of the same board?
Dark Arts
+ All the reviews claim excellent craftsmanship. Nearly unbreakable, massive longevity, insanely sexy
- Uber fucking expensive. Some complaints about stiffness of boards, not clear that a Dark Arts step up is good for DOH+?
Given the pluses and minuses, and given the #1 priority of simply buying an unbreakable set of boards for assfuck Indo, what would you do if you're me?
