Alright! Keep your knickers on! I’ve just the said they same as this chap ^ but slightly less amicably.

I’ve probably got a skewed attitude towards cheaper ocean equipment watching day in day out for a decade not getting on with poor quality items and therefor having a bad experience or worse!

I’m sure on glassy inland waterways the midrange and cheaper items will be more than sufficient.

If you throw around unnecessary and unfounded insults expect some back-lash

I feel like that was taken out of proportion! Just supposed to be some fun....

I think passion for ocean sports is getting the better of me here. Any of you chaps wouldn’t advice a punter to purchase the cheapest product on the market in your profession.

Honestly just want the OP to have the most enjoyable experience possible and not leave disheartened like I see all the time.

Is this still available? I have sent a couple of PM's but not heard back.

Time is running out for my wife's birthday.

Many thanks

I bought this from Escapeskiing yesterday, it is a lovely thing, however its actually a 10/6 not a 10/8 which is even better for us.

I bought it because everything else seems to be out of stock and we wanted a board now.

We will use it this year and look for another thru the winter so next year my wife and I can go out in tandem.

If anyone else wants to sell their board, please do get in touch.

Escapeskiing is a honest straightforward Ribnet guy, it was a pleasure meeting you and you have a lovely Rib.
