Zap Large Wedge
I skim at least once a week and im pretty good now i started when i was like 5. i run track so im pretty fast i was wondering why everyone always says the zaps are not their preference. Do boards liek vic ultravacs make it easier to ride waves? i ride some pretty big waves but this may just be cause im quick on my feet. my questions is do i need a new board. my board is in good shape i only got it last summer. If so what sould i get
Yeah man. Speed is pretty crucial. No matter how good any board is, you still need speed. But the better boards go faster. But if you're going way out there with a wedge, when you get a ultra vac, you'll be FLYING!..lol.. IMO!
ultra vac for now...
i guess ill look into buying a new one im just not all that thrilled in dropign 400 bucks, i guess christmas (or hanaka) is comming up soon
if what you have is working, don't change it.
wait for a while

I agree with Jesse. Just wait it out. I have a Zap Chizel(just like the Pro Large), it works for me pretty good and it was only like 230. if your board works good then keep it 'til it breaks. or until you have almost half a grand to throw into a board.

ultras are like 230
yeah but an ultra really isn't worth getting a new board if you already have a large wedge.

if i get a new board its a top of the line vic or a maui skimmer ive been skimming so long its not like im just gonna stop its worth it
yeh if you are able to ride waves fine and you feel the board isnt holding you back (you being to heavy for it), then keep it for a bit. We dont know your skill level so how you ride waves could be the board or you. A better board is gunna help, but you need to know how to ride it too.
o, and ive never heard someone say "i dont prefer ZAP." A lot of people actually like zap for their quality. They last forever. my carbon zap floated me like a champ and lasted since 01 or 02. she rode some rails and met her demise 2 months later on a big day.
I think your confusing the conception of "dont get a wedge of vic foamie" that people say. Some people say that because if you know youre gunna progress youre gunna want a better board within a month or two, save the 100-200 and spend 300-500.
in other news, im about to drop $500+ on pads and a new exile carbon. JOY!

no. i custom ordered a board from exile thru greg at skimcity. if that board never came (its been 2 months), then i would maybe buy it.
its a carbon MS 3/4 hybrid shape textured light blue with white logo and bottom

aw sick.
My zap is light blue. I was supposed to get a blue pad, but I got a gray one free. 3/4, thats what I wanna get.
In short, I'm jealous.

what do u think about maui skimmers there only 250 and they look like you could get to some far out waves on one of them
so lemme get this straight
first off, youve been skimming since you were 5
second, you ride big waves
and third, youre asking us what board you should buy?
does anyone else think thats a little odd?

yes i skim ibsp (best spot in nj) when its bigger than 3.5 feet not by any means big but i meat ive seen soem like 6ish to 7 when hurricanes come through. But i mean ive seen those maui skimmers and they look like they will take u a mile out cause there so big espically since im used to a large wedge. I'm gonna get a new board by christmas casue i want one and my parrents said i could i jsut know nothing about them. if i dotn get one of them ill get an exile, vic or slotstik
syndromes seem awesome and I've never heard anything and about them. try one of those.
