Would a funboard be able to do radicle moves?

Question

would a funboard like the one in the link down the bottom be able to do cutbacks, snaps and stuff like that, i dont mean like aerials and stuff. Also would this board be a good board to do hard turns.

i am also getting this board to get closer to a shortboard level.

cheers for the answers

Answer 1

I don't know how much you weigh, or anything about your break, but if you have your heart set on NSP, the fish would be a better choice for cutbacks, speed, and ripping, while helping you transition to a shorter board.

Looks like the 6'6 is wide and bouyant enough too.

hmm

Answer 3

There are lots of hybrids that give you more buoyancy and more maneuverability and that are far better than these. Unfortunately, NSP, has limited designs and NO variations from their machine stamped norm, because NSP boards are Chinese factory made popouts.

There have to be thousands of surf shops in Australia and hundreds of good local shapers, who routinely crank out good quality hybrid boards that are more suitable to the break(s) that you ride, and your skill level. If you are already riding something better, and you are looking to move on to a short(er) board, look for quality, not a piece of junk like an NSP. They are GREAT for beginners, or for rental boards, but that is as far as it goes.

If you are dead set on NSP, then I have to agree with Surfammo, that the fish is a far better choice than the ones you seleceted.

Go to a good local surf shop and talk to the folks there about getting a real surfboard.

Answer 4

it depends on how big you are compared to the board. but 6 8 isnt a very big funboard and since its a tri fin you should easily be able to do cutbacks and snaps, i have a 7' 10 funboard and can do cutbacks pretty easy on it but im 6 2 and 180 lbs.

Answer 5

yes, well a shorter kind of fun board like a 7'2 or around there. if you want a nice fun board you should get a southpoint or an NSP. great boards for doing anything.

Answer 6

Without even looking at the board the answer is no.  Funboards are a compromise board between a short and long board.  They lack the maneuverability of the short board and the glide of the long board.  What you are left with is a board that makes it easy to catch waves but hard to do anything on.

Didn't you ask about the Bic too?  Quit shopping online for popout surfboards.  Get off your a$$ and go to a surf shop.
