Just got a new Jeff Heer Honeycomb. Same board, a little lighter, a lot
more expensive.

Was wondering about honeycomb boards?? I was considering the Dean
Lavelle model or the Blind Side HCII, they seem to run about $200 or so
more than the good foam core boards. I'm not a big trickster or try all
that rad stuff, but a light responsive board may feel better underfoot. I
don't know if the weight advantage would do much for me as a recreational
rider, but I wouldn't hesitate to spend the extra money for a honeycomb
model if it made my riding more fun!

From talks that I've had with reps, etc., the honeycomb boards are not
worth the extra money for my level of riding which is intermediate
(learning first inverts). I don't know if they handle banging around
the boats as well as foam core. And you might not like missing the
'feel' of the board when it gets very light.

Again, this is feedback from conversations I've had and not based on
experience with honeycomb boards.

If you have the extra money I believe the honeycomb board will be worth
it. I had a Connelly Dually for a couple of years and really liked it.
This summer I have had more time to work on more diffulct tricks, mainly
inverts. About a month ago I tried a Connelly T2. I loved it. I feel it
has made a big difference in my ridding. Find a shop that will let you
demo different boards and you figure out if its worth the extra money.

Honeycomb boards dent easily. my friend has one with knuckle dents in it
also if you drop any thing on it in the boat you may dent it. I have read
board reviews that have had heel dents, not to cool if you ask me. If you
are a pro and have sponsors fine but if I have to foot the bill.
