Hows the performance on the 9'2 NSP longboard

Question

i know its a pop- out and most likely not great, but its pretty much all i can afford. so hows it perfomance and nose riding ability?

Answer 1

O man please dont buy it. NSPs are slow as c**p and u can barely turn. I rode a 7'8 NSP and i hated it because it was so heavy and hard to catch waves and paddle. If the 7'8 was bad, and cant even imagine a 9'2

Hope u find the right board!

Answer 2

Forget it. For the amount of money you pay for that piece of junk you can pick up a nice used longboard. If I remember, you are from south Jersey. There are lots of surf shops, and lots of used longboards out there. Plus, there are plenty of inexpensive, new long boards out there that are manufactured by companies that don't build their boards in Chinese sweatshops. Summer is coming to end, lots of guys will be putting their sticks up for sale, plus, some decent (not popout) rental boards should be showing up on the market soon. It's Labor day in three weeks!You keep asking about buying NSP junk, get one of your buddies to drive you to a shop where they don't keep trying to sell you that c$@p.

Answer 3

Dude, The NSP's are heavy, more difficult to handle in the water and frankly not worth the money you spend on them. I surfed on one once last year to see what the big deal was and it sucked. Even Costco's boards are of higher quailty. It is true they are inexpensive however buying a used longboard from craigslist, local newspaper or from a local shaper will get you a higher quaily stick than an NSP. The last longboard I bought was on craigslist, it was a Sants Cruz Classic 9' 10" in excellent from $300, regular price around $850. If you shop around and take your time you can get some grat deals. The reason some surfshops sell them is because they make a higher profit off them. Good luck

Answer 4

I wouldn't buy it. You can get a better board that is a hand shaped board on craigslist or ebay for the same price.
