Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get myself into freestyle and I'm searching a second hand market for used freestyle boards. I came upon a Naish boards Freestyle 100, model 2012. It's in solid/good shape and I've unsuccessfully searched the internet for any estimate how much it is worth. Seller did also not specify any price and I am wondering how much should I offer, as the add says the price is negotiable.
Also, would it actually be a good choice for freestyle begginer? I am a solid freerider, have 80kg(175 lbs), 183cm and currently comfortably riding 120l Fanatic Gecko.
I am looking forward to your answers and thank you all.
Those older boards are a bit more forgiving than the newer ones so it would be a good choice as they still gybe ok too.
Depending on the condition as its 8 years old I'd say around $300 at the most.
I think that board looks pretty awful, there is a German review of it somewhere saying its very slow and clunky. Try a skate 100 (2010-2016) instead
i agree with above too. The older boards were still fairly user friendly for anyone, but the later models take some getting used to. 2012 seemed to be the start of the good stuff for fanatic, starboard and JP
If you use the intended fin with a more modern board, it will test out your stance or weight distribution, and most folk who are used to 4 foot straps or used to riding slalom/speed boards will have difficulty getting it to plane and spend a lot of time spinning out. people who've spent most of the time on a wave board tend to not find it as big a change
once you get used to it, it makes you realise just how unnecessary bigger boards and sails are, and can still be planing with a bit of coaxing
I had and rode the NAISH freestyle , in several,size and years. A magazine tester of some renown, had one and its the board his g/f got as his urging. NAISH is not known for FS, I think it's a fine option however.2012 is hardly as old as what one poster said. A German surf magazine, French would be better.
if the board was in excellent , to good, no major repairs, or done well, it's a FS so any repairs are likely.
iam in the USA, I would price it at a range of $300-500, tops.
i now have the Skate, by Fanatic in 105 . It's a wonderful board, it cost $350. It has a few repairs all done properly, no water intake. It was purchased, a. A skate. B. Price was awesome, 2 years on now, was a great value.
i would have to see the board to make any other call.
