Hi there,
on the hunt to find the ultimate, perfect groveler.
I’m intermediate Mediterrean surfer (windswell mainly) based in Italy. We surf in the 1-3 foot range mainly with some good days up to 5/6foot.
Predominantly mushy stuff.
I’m now using a Machado Seaside in 5’8 (I’m 5’9 x 156lb), works pretty good even in small surf but feel that in crowded winter days I could be supported in catching as much waves as possible with a proper groveler.
Had a try in the past on Bean Bag 5’5, good but too short when it comes to paddle in strong current, Baked potato in 5’7 and 5’9 but didn’t fall in love with the huge tail, Mid-lenght or lenghtish Greedy Beaver in 6’10 and Bing Seeker in 7’2 but I’m now set in the shortboard area after a journey through logs in the past.
I was considering, without any test, Twice Baked 5’7, Bean Bag 5’7, Flying Manta (found a used-like-new 5’8, not very common to find here).
Any experience to share on this very low range of surf sleds?
grazie!
Simone
