Hi All,

I am looking to buy a Tona board. I am 95kg (1.95m tall) and would say I am at an intermediate level. I am keen to get a board that can do a bit of everything but I also want to have a crack at riding in boots with some unhooked stuff.

I want something a bit all round, primarily riding chop/flat water.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Flow 140 or 144 IMHO. I'm about the same size and ride a144. It's got a lot of rocker so go the bigger size if you ride in marginal winds much.

flow = smooth, soft landings and slow.

pop = fast, locked in, harsher landinds and a bigger pop.

I rode both these boars for quite a wile. the pop was 1 the best boards iv owned. it was my go to board. its a very fast board and you can hold a lot of power on your rail with a very locked in feel. the "pop" is much higher on the pop then the flow, but the flow is very easy to release from the water. also there is a big difference with the amount of rocker on these boards. with the pop's 3 stage rocker it made it very fast, and good in lower winds. you will feel this lower rocker when you come in fast and hard tho. after a solid sesh of looping, my ankles blowup and i cant walk from the impact. however on the flow its like landing on marshmallows, i can freefall from a loop and not feel a thing.
as for size, im 80kg at 183, and rode the 138 pop and 140 flow. I recon go for the bigger size for yourself.
i love both these boards. they are both very well built, and will last a forever. also worth a look is the 2015 best profanity, just as fast as the pop with, i think "better pop".

Definitely go the Pop. When you're a bit heavier you don't want anything that needs power. I only have the newer 142 Pop in stock but it's an awesome board. Can give you a good deal send me a PM.
