Hi
How many have had the pleasure off owning or rode both these boards ?
Im interested in both and my Tassie local is a Great Longboard wave .
I can't decide on which one and any info would be great .
im 120kg so need the bigger models . I know the B&B is a unique board and the stiker is more popular.
im after a classic longboard,nose rider with great glide and stability.
Thanks

120kgs black an blue

Spencer,I have had both boards,IMO,given your local is a longboard wave,you need to be really honest in your ability,I moved the band b on quickly as it was a VERY slow paddler. The reason it noserides so well is the amount of drag that's required to pull the board back into the pocket,and believe me you can feel the drag when paddling ,with a log long boarding background I can noserider,the B and B definitely does this ! For me I can not afford specialist boards so my choice is the striker as a one board quiver.At 10 ft it should handle your weight plus the strikers paddle brilliantly,with the edge in the tail they do not drag,yet still noseride very well! and performance surf to! Also the striker flat water paddles very well as I do a lot of cross training for fitness ( on going shoulder problems),hope this helps with your decision

I just listened to this surf simply podcast while stuck on a plane, and it had a part where they describe the evolution of (prone) longboard design in different places, contrasting logs for weak California waves with shapes developed in Aus and HI for more powerful waves. Maybe of interest and applicable to SUP, or not:)
