Looking for thoughts on these two boards,
I like to do big strapless airs and ride small-medium waves. (co im not that advanced)
These two boards are the same style correct?
Is the global/Wam better?
Let me know your thoughts or other boards i should look into.
i want option to put straps on when its big surf/over 25 knots. Strapless other times.
thanks
if your looking at getting a strapless or strapped board that can hit some small waves or flick around on flat water you would be silly to go past the Cabrinha skillit! easily the best surfboard on the market!
WAM/Global better only as you want to strap in, otherwise Skater/Whip the go for strapless...
Heres my take on the major differences
Skater-
Thruster. Needs a bit more power than Whip but. Heavier but almost bomb proof.
No straps included.
Whip-
Quad. Good for light wind. Looser feel but gets untidy in bigger stuff. Lighter than the Skater. Comes with straps
Which ever way you go I would suggest a different size for each. For me @ 90kg the Whip in 5'6" and the Skater in 5'9"
smaller waves go for the Naish skater, super fun and just enough weight to stick to your feet through air stuff.
Problem is these small wave boards like the whip/skillit/skate all rock in small waves/chop, but become skatey and difficult to manouver when the waves get to head high, particularly with high winds, which is where the wam/global come in.
