CJ nelson APEX vs Sprout

General Discussion
1

Hi everyone!

I am wondering if anyone has surfed these two models before, I’m considering getting myself a new board, I currently have 9’5 CJ neo classic model, it’s a great board, but want to look for a board that has more ability in the nose.

Since there is no one around me has surfing the new model apex, so I’m hoping I can get some suggestions here.

I’m 5.9 feet tall, 167.55 lb weight, usually surf at the beach break, if I’m getting these 2 models probably go for the 9’6 models.

can anyone give me some suggestions should I go for apex or sprout?

following is the spec of the two models:

Apex: 9’6" x 23 ¼" x 3 5/16" x 86L

Sprout: 9’6’’ x 23 ½" x 3" x 78L

Thanks.

This forum is about building boards, not about consumer reviews of what other builders are doing.   I doubt anyone here is buying off the rack or surfing retail boards.   There are a couple of longboard forums out there where the members are doing that, but we’re more inclined to encourage you to do your own shaping and glassing.
