Grindwater Shaka vs IS Squirt

[AdaminMN]

After weeks of research and shopping, I finally had my new surfboard picked out, a Inland Surfer Squirt. I called my local Inland rep, he had one in stock. Great!

But, after talking w/ him he suggested I look at something different, a surf style board, like a Grindwater Shaka. The surf style boards are a better fit for my boat's surf wake, I guess.

Does anyone ride either one of these boards?

I know they are two different kinds of boards, I'm just trying to find the best setup for my boat. I've only rode skim before, but surf style sounds interesting too.

i learned on the IS Squirt (till mine got stolen).... its a great board don't let them turn you away from it... I haven't rode the Shaka but I would not be afraid to ride the Squirt as it is a surf style board not a skim

Check out my recent post about the Grindwater Slaysh. I am hoping to get some valuable input back from people like Surfdad or Ragboy.

I am a skim style rider that is trying to convert to surf style and it is not easy so far.
