Have $ burning a hole in my pocket and need to get a step up/good wave board before winter. Have a 6'6" so need something to fill the gap between that and my 6'0 +/- 34l shortboards.
Was leaning towards a custom Mini Padi because at this point I think something that paddles better and is easier to ride is the way to go over the most high performance option, espcially in solid waves. The stock boards are too small at that length so would have to go custom. The easiest option would be driving to oceanside and grabbing a 6'2" Ghost XL off the rack but I need it to last and the otr boards have 4/4/4 glassjob. Also they are futures and all my fins are fcs2.
I've always wanted a black beauty but building one online they start to look funky when they approach 20" wide in the shorter lengths. I do like boards with vee though. My other hangup on a CI is that the boards I've had from them over 2-5/8" start getting really chunky in the tail. Feel like the pyzels hide the thickness a bit better.
They seem to have fallen out of style around here but I had a 6'2" bonzer that went insane in good hollow waves. Was thinking a round pin 5fin maybe with an ewing would go good. I've always liked them backside and I am goofy in the land of right points.
Anybody who has ridden a ghost/mini padi at shorter length let me know what you think. Thanks
