    Default Board help please!

    I'm 16 6 ft tall and 200 lbs. I've flatland skimed for 3 year and i'm pretty good. Recently I bought a bungee banshee (which is awesome!) and it work great to flatland skim but, during high tide at my beach you can't flatland skim and i want to skim in deeper water with my bungee but i cant with my board. I want a carbon fiber board that well be able to get me out there. My price range is 200 but i'll go to 300 if it's worth it. Thanks!

    Just because a board is made of carbon doesn't mean you'll skim like a pro. It's not the song so much as the singer......get it?

    I'm 6'0" 190lbs and run like a 3-legged Zebra Ice Skating......because of that, I skim on a bigger board. 54.5x21.5, which from Exile is a XXL...

    Hope that helps...good luck!!!
