Just wondering if anyone tried the Smik bonza? I mean a regular week end average joe? Just to have a feedback from a mortal point of view ? Appreciate any info if possible stating age, weight ,board size and level please.
Thanks
... me too. it can obviously go the big stuff (see the website!). Stehar showing it also good glide in little stuff.
Would be good to see a view of the rocker...
The size of these runners looks as fitting well the Bonza system, well done! are they larger size than the usual one set on a shortboard?
Kami. A couple of pics of my 7' 2" Bonza Egg. The centre fin is a 7" for reference. They appear to be similar. Hard to tell from these shots.
Well Scotty I am ashamed to say that after having this board shaped I have only used it a couple of times in onshore slop and at the time was on my SUP (Spitfire was one of my boards) a lot. I am getting older and heavier and seem to be on 9'6" or 10' longboards and feel my Bonzer might be too advanced now. Your Bonzer would be nice to replace the Spitfire. I have a Hypernut as well which you worked on back in the day. Love the acceleration. Had a Spitfire briefly (too small) and loved it's lively feel. You have the vision.
Had a Spitfire briefly (too small) and loved it's lively feel. Should be... Had a Hipster Twin briefly (too small) and loved it's lively feel
any more updates from new Bonza riders on the feel of their new rides.
Thanks in advance for your feedback
Yep. 9'5. Stoked. Its a gazzillion times more fun than the old waterlogged Halo. Unfortunately can't give you any more comparison than that. All i know so far is that its gets into our fattish waves easily enough and is bloody quick when it wants to be, so hang on! And, well for me anyway coming off a 10'6 allrounder, it turns very easily.
Thanks to all you gurus for your collective wisdom I've learned heaps as a lurker, and thanks to Scotty for a magic job well done
Stoked.
Btw I'm about 6ft 85kg And find it pretty stable, even in onshore Timor Sea slop with toothy logs poking around the lineup giving everyone the heebygeebies.
Did I mention Stoked
Any reports on these boards? Saw a 8'4 x 30 pop up and had me curious how they compare to the hipsters?
I have a custom 10 x 32 Bonza arriving very soon. Can't wait! The hipster and stylelord are two of my favourite boards and I am sure the Bonza will be the same.
