I think that board is suh-weet. I haven't ridden that one but I have
ridden several landyahtz. They are not my cup of tea generally but they
are as well made as anything going and they put a lot of thought and
care into their designs. Without a doubt their boards are really good.
As for being overkill, it depends on whether you think having fun from
beginning to end of your ride is overkill. If the answer is unanimously
for as much fun as possible then I'd say it's not overkill.

Where are you located? Is there a place you can try out some boards?
