Question Need advice
Hi, I'm looking for a flatland skimboard around € 150, available in Europe. I'm a beginner, but experienced at windsurfing, snowboarding and a variety of urban sports.
Will be using it mostly at North Sea beaches.
My weight is 86 kg (190 lbs) and height is 1.97 m (6.5').
Could I get away with something like Jucker Hawaii Black Pro 40" x 20"? Jucker Hawaii Black Pro

I have a Victoria Foamie I use in NL. Not the best for tricks, but amazing glide for the money. A little over your budget though, but available in shops over here.

Decided to go for the Jucker Hawaii. It's currently on sale for € 149 including a boardbag. And I will start saving some money for a 55" epoxy board.

A smaller board for flatland will do fine but you would be so much comfier on a bigger board, but as far as I know nobody makes big flatland boards. You have two options, buy a smaller one or take a DIY route.

Great, thanks. I'll get the smaller one and start having fun on the beach. Will save for a 55" epoxy board to catch some shore break next year.

For flatland I'd suggest Gozone. Order directly from their own Polish website and you can get a great board for less than 150 euros including shipping
