I have narrowed my selection to these boards because of size, shape availabilty and price merrick is about fifty to seventy $ less. I don't know which to go with?
The merrick is nice but it is rated for beginner to intermediate and the Bp is rated as an advanced bored. I have a feeling the BP might be a better main LB that I can grow with... Where as I am affraid that with the merrick I will be traiding it in next year. Does any body have an opinion about either of these boards pro or con.
I reccomend you buy a Softop.
Why? Because i have no fucking clue who you are, where you surf, or how well you surf.
Merrick is a shortboard shaper (not that Al or CI itself does any work on the boards now) Don't bother buying Merricks that aren't shortboards.

Why oh why would I spend money on a board that I know that I am not going to be happy riding with the intention of trading it in next year? I mean are these boards such dogs that I would be better served by going and getting a softop. I would much rather just go and get a used long or mid glass board for the same price or less. Oh and I am no where near santa barbara and I am not really looking far an egg. I really want to buy a long board that I will be able to hold onto for a while and then next year get something else smaller say around 7'2 mabey an egg wtf thats a year from now. I am trying to buy a LB this weekend.Quote:
