Hard to go wrong with either Plasmic or Banjo IMO. Two of the funnest boards I've ridden.After retiring my CC TKF down to Baja I've been kinda considering what I'd like to replace
it with. Not really interested in another trad TKF but this Myconaut looks pretty fun.
Plasmic and Banjo have piqued my interest as well
My Plasmic is the EAST version. 5-9. Banjo is 5-7, EPS. Both boards have that nice early entry of a fishy type board. Instant speed. Banjo is a little flatter and has more drive overall and definitely likes to drive off the front foot whereas the Plasmic really wants to be surfed off the tail. Banjo is more suited to open face carves and Plasmic is better in the pocket. I think Banjo has a little better low end, Plasmic better upper end. Both have a pretty wide range. I think the Plasmic feels better on the backhand and is overall a little more suited to the beach breaks I often surf. Both are fun in Baja point surf but Banjo probably has the edge there for me.what would you say are the differences between the plasmic and the banjo
Both boards work with a variety of fins. I even ran the banjo w/ upright twins for a bit but ultimately liked it best as a keel with AMKs or the Surf Squared keels. Plasmic I like with the NVS Album Fascination twins but I think I'm the only one. Most people run normal twins like the AMT's or NVS Album Upright's. I just like the drive an hold of a big raked fin.What fins work best in your Plasmic and Banjo, Aruka? Is either board more fin specific?
Great info! Thank you. I've never ridden a plasmic but I'm a little surprised that the plasmic would have a higher top end than the banjo and a banjo a better low end. I would think the total oppositeMy Plasmic is the EAST version. 5-9. Banjo is 5-7, EPS. Both boards have that nice early entry of a fishy type board. Instant speed.
