Tough Decision for me
Okay I sold my board this winter and I need to invest in a new one, that is durable, fast, and gives good float...I have brought it down to a Vic Carbon and a Slotstik Pro Vac...but I have no experience with Vics or Slotties...any help would be great.I had an Exile Hybrid but it was too small and didn't float me.
I'm gonna say vic. I haven't skimmed either brand, but recently ordered a ml vic polyvac that I can't wait to ride

they are both good boards. Vics are heavier which can be good in wind. Slotties are light and turn pretty well
Safety is for people who don't know what they are doing.
Also slotties are narrower like a paulo and have less rocker. They are lighter which sucks on windy days and are thinner at 5/8". Vics seem normal in shape and rocker. There also thicker at 3/4" and a little heavier which is a plus on windy days

okay i was leaning more towards slot anyways
interesting name. Whenever I skim hard my boner severely affects my running ability.
dude, im a chick, i dont really have that problem. haha but that was funny.
if float is what your looking for get a 3/4 thickness of either brand.. and run faster with or without hard on haha
what's your local break like? heavy or not so powerful

It depends on your local beach and the conditions a lot, decribe em...
its not heavy like in cali, east coast conditions but still workable
I say Slot, because of the width verse lenght. They are narrower. They are thinner, provac that is. Doubt your some fatass chick looking to skim, so 3/4" verse 5/8" isn't a real debate issue. The flatter rocker will help with your speed. Unless your some track star at school.
If for no other reasons, Sticky Bumps surf/skim wax has always used Slots in their ads with super hot chicks laying near or on the board. Something about a girl and a Slotstik is just sexy and kinda punkish all at the same time.
I say Victoria because they care about skimboarding.
