Hi,

I'm coming off a 8'0 foam board, am starting to do turns and would like to get a board that is relatively easy to paddle and is moderately durable.

I am 80kg, 5'9 and surf 2-3 times a week all year in the Gold Coast.I am trying to decide between these 2 boards (or any others that you suggest).

sideways.com.au/maywood-longboard-84/

sideways.com.au/free-flight-coaster-longboard-80-90/

Something under 8'6 is essential for fitting it in my vehicle.

Thank you

Good day mate, I did a quick google,the Coaster looks to be the pick from those two boards, more user friendly Maywood is a pig style board and not so user friendly, From the sounds of it your keen surfing 2/3 times per week I think you would be soon looking for a upgrade if you purchased one of those boards your currently looking at.I would bite the bullet buy some racks and go for a 9.1 there are much better options out there.

Only jealous people hate, trust me I'm not hating

Thank you for the answers so far. I have racks on my car, but I surf Vegie work and leaving it on the rack in the sun is a bit of a problem which is why I was looking at getting something that would fit in the car.

would something like this ECS board be similar to the Free Flight?

Also does anyone know anything about the durability of the Free Flight Coaster?
