Yancy's thoughts on a handful of new Cronin surfboards that just hit the floor
Yancy stopped by the shop to check out and discuss some of the boards from our latest Cronin surfboard shipment.
"We got a couple of pompanos in, Cronin's most popular model for all around Gulf Coast surf. Its a twin fin, not a retro fish, but more of a modern fish with future fin boxes for larger keel fins. Its a thin fish, with a pulled in nose, which allows you to get a lot of speed and maneuverability. The retro fishes usually have wider noses and tend to be slower and more stylish. These are more performance type boards and are one of the fastest and easiest to ride in Gulf Coast waves." - Yancy4
"The ProLance is what I ride. I have a 5’10 and I ride it as a twin fin or a three fin, but I also have the option of four fins. It seems to work good in our Gulf Coast's small, suck out type of surf. It has kind of a wider squash/diamond tail, which gives it a good basic shortboard feel and has a wider chest area for paddling."- Yancy4
Spear- Available between 5'10 - 6'0
"With its pulled in nose and round tail, the Spear is more of an offshore, hollow wave board. This would be fun in good waves." -Yancy4
Club - Available between 5'6 - 6'0
"The Club has a basic rocket fish outline. It would work well in average Gulf Coast waves." -Yancy4
High 5 - Available in 6'10
"The High 5 is a great looking board and is what everyone knows as the 'magic model'. It has chimed rails with a round nose and tail and is more of a performance mid-length. Its a good shape and would catch waves easily." -Yancy4
