Which Koal?

[racer808]

I think after reading around a bunch the Ronix Koal sounds like a great next step board for the wife & daughter.  Neither like my inland surfer.  Trying to figure out which one would be best?  I still want to ride it & I am 190lbs.  I want the one that would be best for spinning & other tricks.

Are they around 190 as well? 

If they aren't, you guys probably will not like the same board

[racer808]

No, they're not close to 190.  They both really like riding our Volt which I ride just fine.  But the sizing I want would be for them, if I can ride it great if not I'll get two sizes if I need to

We have the Koal Fish in 5'4" and it is great and one of my favorites.  Very stable and easy to ride

+1 on the Koal Fish, we also ride the 5'4", great board.  I really like how the nose hooks up to avoid dipping the nose when cutting back and forth into the wave.

I have the Blender, and have friends with boat the Fish and the Thruster.

I wasn't a big fan of the Thruster, but both the Blender and Fish are a blast to ride.  They just have a different feel.  The Fish likes to carve, and the Blender likes to slash.  I'll say that the more experienced riders tend to gravitate to the Blender.  But, if I was to have just one board on my boat I'd probably grab the Fish.
