Surfing Waves

Does anyone know much about these boards? a2zBoardShop.com has a coupon to get these boards for 40% Off at BackcountryOutlet. It ends up being only like $530 with shipping and everything. Is there something wrong with these or are they good?

Yater is a classic board shaper. Dude's been around forever and a week. Surftech is an epoxy board manufacturer. They make a pretty decent epoxy board. The shape is one of Yater's designs, Surftech pays a royalty to Yater for every board they sell.

I got my girlfriend a 9'10" yater tuflite which I have recently been giving a go in all sorts from 2' mush to 6' clean and pumping. I thought it would be a pretend log but I was so wrong. I took out the biters and changed the 8" centre fin for a 10" (i weigh about 190 lbs) and the thing absolutely flies down the line and turns really well.
I guess these surftech types don't need to get idiots to shape for them. I have a McT Razar (sic) in the tuflite and it also flies but I think it is too short for me (only 9-1) and am looking for something in between it and the 9-10. Here on the surfcoast of Oz nearly all the longboards you see in the lineup are 9-0 or 9-1.
Drifting off-topic... Go Yater, they fly!

I waited until it came up on WhiskeyMilitia and got it for $530 shipped. The Yater 9'2" HP is a bit narrower and more gun shaped, but it rides so much better that the older fiberglass longboard I had. Flies down the line and still turns on a dime if I need it do, I'm riding the center fin all the way forward. So far it's seen knee high to overhead surf and seems like it can really get into everything.

SURFTECH ROCKS!!! . No doubt about them 1st one thought it's gonna be a turd torpedo and was a joke! Jokes on me they are for real and can kick azz I now have 3 in my quiver and are some of the toughest boards by far and surf great!!! started my bud on one he was pist at first, he thought Iwas putting him on a crapper to start. HA HA he soon changed his mind after he actualy surfed!!!!

^^horses for courses, I had one, a beautiful 9'1 velzy pintail with the wood laminate, rode like crap IMO, have tried a few more, even up to big 10' tankers, and not liked any of them - too stiff, no flex, feel "dead" because of it, and much too light and corky. I guess having surfed so long on EPS boards, that I'm just too used to the way they feel.

I got a 9'0" Yater, took out the bites and it's the bomb!!! Had to get a surftech 8'0" Randy French...It's better still, The things are still like new after riding them for years (the Yater's production number is #10) I figured what the hell and got a Wayne Lynch 6'6" for the quiver, I love them all, I will never ride the fall apart pressure ding foamcore sh*t again.
