I think it depends on where you like to surf and your preferences, but I think the lumberjack is a really good first longboard! It's such a classic it will give you a great base for any other longboards you want to try in the future. I also think the Sano Special was a really easy to transition to board. The walks on water is really stable and nice if you feel you want a lot of volume, but might feel like a lot of board to get used to from a foamie.
Obsessed with Almond boards as well! Have a lumberjack and just picked up a Sano Special. How would you describe the ride of a Lumberjack vs Sano Special? Just curious on your thoughts.
Personally I felt like the sano was a little more laid back and less “accurate” if that makes sense? Mine was a bit bigger and the tail made it fun and very fluid to turn but harder to manage on bigger waves for me. How do you like yours??
@@saltynat I’ve found the Sano to be the most fun in small 1-2ft cruisy waves and for practicing foot movement. The extra volume is surprisingly noticeable and makes the paddle out a bit of a beast on big days haha. I tend to bury the nose a bit more on Sano too which i assume is from less rocker. I’m a newish surfer and didn’t think the difference between Lumberjack and Sano would be as noticeable as it has been, but been fun learning and experimenting. Appreciate the feedback on your experience!
Thanks Will! Yeah my bank account keeps my quiver in check haha, they are worth it though and they just make me so happy. The beach chicken is such a cool board! If you’re going to be rich in something I guess surfboards are not a bad choice 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly all the almonds Ive tried paddle extremely easy, you’ll have fun on a lumberjack for sure! Catching waves on the lumberjack is cake as well, I think depending on what board you’re used to it can take some getting used to the lack of rocker in the nose! Once you find your sweet spot balance-wise it is one of my very favorite all around boards!
Great video! I love how relaxing and fun your videos are to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos!

🥹 thank you so much Yordiiii!!! Having a board you love definitely makes surfing more fun!
Now when you own all three longboards which one would you have bought coming of a foamie? Still the same order?
