Cheers - will look into it further then. They look like great boards for sure!

I grabbed the Mako King and set it up in mutant mode. Awesome surf board.

Ended up buying the 150 last night. Will be here next week - very excited!

...always found the makos excellent boards. I have tried the king and the 150. Brilliant boards that have given me untold pleasure. OR are very respsonsive in my experience on any quality issues but sorry to hear the negative experience above on the kite.

Let us know your thoughts when you have a few sessions under your belt

Will do EastCC! Can't wait for it to arrive now!

remember to use slightly a bit more front foot pressure than a regular TT ... once you get it dialed in, I'm sure your gunna like it

Nigel is loaning me 140 to try out here on Sunny Coast. Cant wait.

Hasn't been the right conditions here for me to try it out. I am hanging to get out there. Board looks awesome.

I had a quick try on a 150 the other day. My normal board is a Shinn Monk. By comparison the 150 was much stiffer and less absorbent of chop. It was ok but the Monk takes the cake for me.

Bought from Nigel , enquired about spare fins he got them chucked in a container from Canada and sent them to me probably not much more than cost. Love the 150 mako it's all I ride in the perth chop and it's just an easy really fun board to ride. Haven't rode many others so not the person to compare against other brands, heaps of reviews online. Reason i ordered the spare fins was I didn't want to have to go back to my old tt in case I broke/ lost one.

Ocean Rodeo have been working on this one for a while now, the Mako Duke, 5'4 x 8 1/2, 25.3L

A short go doesn't cut it. You need a longer session to dial in. Standard TT technique will be slappy and annoying. My front foot weight and slicing through rather than slapping over chop will unlock the gold smooth chop muncher.

That may be the case but should a I change my technique to suit a board or just use a Monk that is already a chop muncher with standard tt technique

agree 100% with Plummet ... the deep concave provides a sort of 'cushion affect' that makes 'em sooo smooth ... and you get really good bite in dead flat as well

That depends on what you want out of your board. The mako will exceed your boards performance particularly in waves. If you have no waves and just chop and enjoy your board. Happy days. If you want to get deeper and better carving in the waves then the Mako makes for an awesome board.
