A local board shop is selling Redback Revolution boards, Quicksticks from $280, mals from $300 to $400. Thinking of buying a 9' mal. Dimensions 9 x 22.5 x 2.75. I weigh 88kgs and would describe myself as low-level intermediate. I have ridden shorties when younger but ride mals these days, namely a 9' that is showing its age.
Any of you guys tried out the Redbacks, especially the mals and if so are they worth the money obviously popouts but the prices seem OK to me.

But soft tops are limiting.

Natural necessity down in gerringong have these sunova boards that I think are made for them. They're reasonably cheap ( 8'er is 950 ), and while they probably aren't berts latest tech, I'd imagine they'd be light and pretty strong.
Or look for a second handed as said. Second hand longboards are usually a bargain,and should last at least a few years. Kind of looking out for one myself.

Torq boards have taken off in the UK, with some good feedback. Only $550 for a new one at NN ($650 for a 9ft one)

Thanks guys. I might just keep my old mal until it falls apart. An extra mal is a bit too much of an indulgence.
