NSP SurfboardsClassic Longboard

i would like to thank nsp for selling this model (surf series 11ft longboard) , having lived in cornwall for 15 years i can surf allright , but moving to the south coast in littlehampton and surfing general weak and sloppy waves around this area this board has been a god send , i can catch anything on this and ride forever , (the only bad point are its too wide to carry under 1 arm so it needs a central griping insert thing like what they have on sups) , the paddle speed is amazing , its got all the benefits of a sup but without the stupid paddle , the ability to get through crappy sections is amazing , i feel pity for anybody surfing near me if i wanted all the waves coz i can have the pick of the waves if i was that sort of personality , im a stocky 6ft 1" and weigh nearly 16 stone and i didnt think i would find a board that would suit my build , any man over 13 1/2 stone would suit this board , dont worry you would soon get used to the size and really enjoy using it , bloody love this board

NSP boards are great for learners and those who are not looking for a high performance board. I learnt to surf on a 7'7" NSP board, found it fairly easy and very durable (didn't smash the deck in when I was still drop my knees). I moved on to other boards but came back to NSP when I was looking for a 10'2' board, mainly because it was very cheap and their were limited choices at that time. It was fun to ride nad very forgiving but definate shaped more beginners, not up to tight turns. However I eventually folded it in half in some 6 foot swell, wasn't even on the board at the time had bailed off the back. When I pulled the leg rope in it had a crease accross the middle and 2 big cracks on the rails and of course that was the end of it. So definately consider a NsP if you are starting out but remember you get wehat you pay for.
