QUIVER CHOICE
RIDES:
Battery 5’10 – 27L with a rounded squash tail is my all around Shortboard that provides lots of agility but also holds though weaker sections.
My favourite Board is the Escalator 5’11 – 29L which is a little narrower and has a pin tail to generate more speed when waves are faster, hollow and powerful. Also works good when it’s a bit bigger and still has really good agility.
As a kind of Step up I use the Escalator 6’2 – 31L for the big days when it’s difficult to catch one and to get in earlier. Helps me also to move faster to get in the right position.
MEASUREMENTS:
Tobi is 184 cm tall and weighs 75 kg.
