CWB Tsunami or Hyperlite Broadcast?

[GastonRider]

We are looking for a board that could be used for a beginner and for a person that has been riding for a while. We are trying to decide between the CWB Tsunami or the Hyperlite Broadcast. Any opinions out there about this, or if there is another board we should also check out. Thanks.

I just received a broadcast for my B-Day and it rides very easy. I started on the Trick boardz but had trouble learning the sweet spot. I threw the rope back in the boat on the first ride with the broadcast. I have not been on the tsunami so I cant comment on it. According to the literature, the fins can be removed after some experience so the surface tricks are readily accomplished. Still working on those.

I have a Hyperlite Landlock 5'6" and a CWB Tsunami. I always teach beginners on the Landlock sometimes I still ride it too. Not sure what size the Broadcast is (they have changed names over the years too). Get the bigger board first.
