New Sticks
// // Uncategorized
I just got back from a trip down to Puerto Rico. On my way down I stopped at the BEST Kiteboarding HQ in Delray to say whats up to the crew and grab some gear. It was great to say “Hi” to my family at BEST… I’m stoked to get to ride and promote the brand (I’m really excited about this years gear).
Since Puerto Rico is mainly wave riding on the northside, Evan (who runs US Sales), insisted I bring down one of the new 2010 5’6″ shortstick and she was right! The board was super fun on the Puerto Rican reef breaks… the Shortstick likes to get in earlier on the wave and gives you plenty of time to setup your turn. I took out the center fin and rode it as a twin-fin… I was blown away by how fun it was. The twin-fin setup made the board super loose and great for tailslides! The best part: the BEST Surfboards are built incredibly tough!! I love to throw strapless airs, the problem I’ve had with every other board is severe heal dings and cracking through the deck… but not with the shortstick. I’m really excited to ride this board in Cape Hatteras!
Stoked on both of these boards
Also I got one of the new Balance Boards, the 137 Petr Tyushkevich model. I threw my new 2010 Ronix One bindings on it and was blown away by the POP! These boards have awesome flex for air tricks and when I took off the fins I was able to butterslide and carve like never before. If you get the chance, do yourself a favor and try one of these boards!!!
