| 100064 | 2802 | Bing Pintail Lightweight | 12 | Eelgrass | Jul 25, 2016 | 2016-07-25T18:10:13-0400 | I would also say the PTLW is a good option, but i'm not sure about the full volan glass job. The standard glass (6 + 6 deck patch?) is sufficient, and keeping the board on the lighter side allows you (me) to get into the turn much quicker, especially on beach break. I have a 9'6 and am of similar physical dimensions as you. I only reach for the PTLW for reef breaks when i'm pretty certain its going to have some juice, but i actually think it is a great option for beach break when it is smaller (~3 ft) and kind of steep/pitchy, as it often is at the beach. If you are looking to stay with a longboard for beach break, i don't think you can go wrong with a PTLW. Give it a shot, if it doesn't work for you, you can easily re-sell it (see #2 from "Not alone" thread!). |
