Circle One Skimboards

[jimmy]

I've been watching this forum for ages and meaning to post. I've been really getting into my strapless this year and have been riding a cyclone wave skim and north freestyle fish. I love my fish but i wanna go purer in the skim. In the UK we have a brand called circle one who look like they make some pretty cool skims that i can get pretty cheap. Its a pintail 50", just wandering if anyone has any feedback, i weigh about 65-70kg.

Hey Jimmy,

Welcome to LTS! Thanks for joining. Unfortunately, I have never ridden nor seen a Circle One skim board. I can't give you much feedback other than you weigh a bit less than me (72 kg) and therefore somewhere around a 50 - 54" in length and 19.5 - 20.5" width should be a good starting point. I know these sizes work well, but that is just the start. The boards look decent in the link and the price is definitely right So go for it. Also, you might want to read up on these posts for more ideas:

When you do get one please post your review here so we can all learn about your board:

Let me know if there is anything else I might be able to help you with. Otherwise get skimming!

I've been doing a bit of searching around and i have found a Victoria Ultra Vac skim small (50" i think) for £30 more. Is it worthwhile me going for this over the circle one board, the RRP is definately more.
