Inland Surfer Keenan Pro Skim vs Phase 5 Danielo Diamond [2015]

[axeman]

Anyone had experience riding each board or both and can share some opinions? I've got the Keenan on demo and waiting for the Danielo Diamond to come in so I can demo it as well. Just looking for some opinions and real live feedback.

I've already got Shred Stixx boards (Thresher and Nano) for surf style boards. This season I want to switch it up with some skim style boards to make it more interesting.

I just picked up a left over Thresher. How do you like that? What fun configuration you ride?

I am also eyeing up the same two you are deciding on for a skim style.

I ride the stock tri fin setup. Never got around to riding shorter fins but I did mess around with the different fin configurations (single middle fin, duals, tri-fin) and ended up on the tri-fin. Fastest setup, grippy and less pumping. I hope you have a decent length pocket as that's where the Thresher thrives. Does require lots of pumping to get back in it.

The Keenan feels like a bigger (wide) board depending on your size, I found the diamond a little fast down the line. If you can try the Sean Cummings (quick edge, nice release) I would put it in the mix or the P5 Matrix (fun, quick, light board).
