Landyachtz Switchblade or Bustin Ibach

I'm looking for a board to use for speed. From trying various boards, I know that I want something a bit lower than average - but not super low. Both the Ibach and Switchblade seem to be good choices, but I'm not completely sure.

My biggest worry is the concave of the Ibach. I have very small feet, only 10" heel to toe, and I'm worried that I wont get the full effect of the concave. Being very locked into the board is something I really need.

I've never really looked at the measurements of concaves, so I don't know how much a 5/8" concave really is. 

Bustin Ibach (NOTE: I would probably get the 10-ply version rather than the 9-ply):

 

 

 

What other more well-known boards have similar concave?

What are the obvious pros and cons of these two boards?

What similar boards are on the market?

What would YOU rather race on?

 

Thanks,

Fish

i own a switchblade and the concave is the best ive ever riden. the concave isnt intence when you have a wide stance and the foot wells work nicely (heaps of control for high speed drifts)i reccomend the switchblade
