Hi - I was going to write a mail to Rob but thought it might be more relevant to post here instead (and not flood Rob's inbox
).
As one or two of you might know I have been dithering about buying a surfski but decided that I need to finish building my house first etc etc
However I've been reading reviews with interest and intend to get a ski and wing paddle as soon as finicials allow
What struck me was that for the beginner/new ski chooser there is alot of information out there but not necessarily all condensed in one place...
What I thought might be a useful starting place would be to have a page or two on this site outlining some of the stats for a range of surfski's.
I started to make my own list of ski's that I thought I'd like to buy and soon came up with a list of all the vital stats for a range of boats (ok... the list got a little big and I included all the skis I could find : V10 / Evo / Honcho / Mako / Huki etc - regardless of whether I could afford them or get them shipped).
I realised that for me maybe something like a 19' x 19" x 15kg fibreglass boat might do the trick... but anyway, I'll leave my decision until spring.
What was useful was having all the details in a kind of spread sheet type format...
Maybe length / width / weight / website / suitability (flat/waves etc) / link to this sites review.
I know that choosing a ski is alot more subjective than this and you should try them but might be useful to see info like this...
Maybe an idea ?!
Cheers
Ed
