Adding to the quiver! Thoughts and ideas??!!
« on: June 11, 2017, 02:07:57 PM »
My 40th birthday is getting closer (next March actually so plenty of research time!) and was thinking about adding to the quiver as a treat to myself! I gave a 10'8 Jimmy Lewis Hanalei and a 9'5 Jimmy Lewis Striker (I'm very impressed with these boards both with their quality construction and how they surf). I'm wondering what board would complement them and complete my quiver.

I'm 85kg and surf to an intermediate standard all year through in South Wales, UK.

My question is what would you guys go for? I'm obviously a Jimmy Lewis fan and have had excellent service from the UK JL distributor with my previous 2 purchases but I'm open to other options.

The JL 9'1 KWAD and 8'6 Super Frank have caught my eye as well as some of the Sunova boards (10' Style, 9'2 Speed, 9'5 Soul) and the Infiniti New Deal (10' X 29" - may be too pricey). Other brands available in the UK include Fanatic, Starboard, JP, SMIK (I think) and probably a few others.

As you can see, I'm interested in surf sups, so feel free to share your thoughts!

Diolch / Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I've looked at Loco in the past as they look interesting and often have good deals. How does the construction compare to other brands? What board in their range  would you recommend?
