heading to Lakey Peak in Sumboa later this year and dont want to take to many boards with me. any one got any advise on a good high performance surfboard to handle juicy hollow waves, and able to screw straps into for kiting if the wind comes up?
good advise would be apreciated, thanks
PS. im 76 kg and 5,7 height.

people wanting to crap on about people using straped surfboards need not respond.

Im loving the 2012 north kontact,

little bit floaty to paddle and take off but still rides well for sumboa coast,

And you luv it on a kite, really snappy hard to hold the rail sometimes through drawn out transition just keep em tight.

If it was me I would be packing a dedicated surf board and a strengthened surfboard (either BWS or local shaper). That way you can kite on the surfboard and surf it to dependent on the conditions or if you break the other one.

Have fun over there!
