The Gait Thrust a Phenomenal Starting Stick

     I had just gotten into lacrosse when my coach a long time vet of the game recommended we all should get a gait thrust and being no of had a clue what we were doing the next week 15 kids showed up with one. Lucky for the coach not a single kid regretted it and most still have theirs. To start out let's say it was cheap as in under a hundred dollars for a full stick and it didn't weigh a ton. Also it had a nice wide scoop and a narrow neck so everyone could learn to cradle and get ground balls easily. so overall everyone loved their's including me even though during the to last game of the season a defender stepped on it and cracked it. Even though this would happen to any stick being this was a huge guy. Most of my friends still have there sticks so it is a truly great starter stick for any age or skill level.

Pros:

wide scoop

narrow neck

easy cradling, throwing, and catching

cheap and durable

Cons:

paint chips easy

mesh is hard to break in

little heavy

Summary:

Overall this is a truly great stick for anyone trying to get in to lacrosse. It's nice, cheap, and very durable and will work great once you get a good pocket into it.

The Lost Motivator a Speedy Giant

     The Lost Motivator is supposed to be the board to get you out on those 2 foot and mushy days, and it does its job perfectly. Just recently we were out and it was about 3 foot and though i had friends riding other lost boards meant for small waves I was the only one who could get a decent wave. As for the bigger days it's not meant for them but being able to paddle into a big wave on the outside is extremely convenient plus you can beat out the pesky long boarders on the outside. The last thing that really makes this board shine all year round and no matter hat the wave is the five fin setup. It's great on those sloppy waves to be able to pull out a quad and go faster than you would ever believe on a board like this, plus on those big days you put on a thruster set-up and you can lay down some huge hits.
Pros:
five-fin set-up is versatile
extra foam in nose means you won't nose dive
very fast when quad
will catch anything
Cons:
big/bulky
if to big it can get hard to turn
can be to big for large days
Summary:
Great board for those small Florida waves, good to learn on, but it's little tight but with speed it really loosens up, and it's a little hard to ride on big waves.
Overall 4 1/2 Gnarly Groms out of 5
