what thickness

[fireball]

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the thickness of your boards are. I am looking to order a ml exile s glass soon and not sure what i want. I'm really into wave riding. What would you go with? 3/4 or 5/8. Thanks for your help, Logan

how much do you weigh...if you are not that heavy set then 5/8 would be good but if you are then 3/4 would be better b/c the thicker the more it will float.

I would go 3/4

If you skim the gulf I would go 3/4. If you skim smaller less powerful waves go with 3/4. Like flskim said, 3/4 just gives you alot better float.

If you think about it a sec.... why not go with what the women really want and go thick... 1" no less....

This probably wont help you much since within the two boards I have I have one of each.. But I would go with 5/8", I like it alot more than I do the 3/4"

Thanks for your help. I weigh about 160 and i usally ride in the outer banks where the shore break is pretty big at times. Thanks again, Logan

3/4 isnt as fast and maneuverable as a 5/8, but not by much. As others said, go with the 3/4 if you ride less powerful shorebreak....

I live on the Gulf and have a 3/4" Vic. I like it.

Me too. Riding the waves is fun on skimboards.
