Thread: Michel Bourez Pro Model

  1. #61
    Hey,
    Just new to the forum, some really good info on here! I have a question re: the MB, would be great to hear what ya reckon?

    I'm an intermediate level surfer around 80kg, i have good fitness and spend most of my time in quality surf. I just picked up a the 6'0 thicker MB. I see the rails carry a fair bit of the volume, will it still be responsive and how will it compare to my 6'2 Flexfire 18 3/4 x 2 1/2?

    The Bourez is a HP shortboard and even though the thicker model carries a bit more volume out to the rails it will still perform like a HP short board in good surf. I haven't ridden a 6'2 Flexfire but i have a 6'4 Flexfire and I own a 6'2 Thinner Bourez. I am amazed at how well the Bourez turns in the pocket and doesn't lose any speed through the turns.

    I think that you will be stocked with the 6'0 MB and find it will become your goto board as with the extra volume over the Flexfire it will grovel a little beter.

    I'll be looking at the thinner one especially if you stay in good surf the rail are pretty full and give you plenty of float and paddling power.The difference between the volume of your flexfire and the thin MB wont be that much.

    Yewww! Nice to get the nose and tail widths from that. Seems like the nose is a touch wider than my Taj and the tail a touch narrower.
    Cool that the CBD is now available in the UK and most of Europe.

    When the tail option for the Bourez will be available in CBD? I wont mind a round tail as a step up Bourez.

    I heard about them bringing a rounded pin to the Flexfire range from Bruce on this forum. But I am not sure about any other boards, it would be great if they did bring in a tail option.
