Hello. Happy New Year
One new idea, What about to use the longer small wave boards such as JL Super Frank 8'0 lean and Gong NFA 8'0" also in bigger soft waves and choppy conditions? Big and soft, not hollow

As some of you said, I could not need the longboard 9 with these boards. And from another point of view, how a more polyvalent longer board would work with choppy and bigger soft waves such as the Gong Karmen 8'4" or JL destroyer 8'5"? They have more rocker than SF and NFA but they are longer

Another doubt for Colas. I don't understand why Gong says in their complete website the mob 7'6" or 7'11" need bigger waves than the NFA 8'0".

Thanks.

Hi. I live in a place with lots of waves but since I began to sup surf there are more and more people surfing everywhere. The surfing schools is now a big industry, not respecting anything. The result is that I have to go sup surfing in second soft peaks with less people but waves don't push, break badly, currents, etc. The number of good days are less and less with my current board.

I try to find boards to take advantage of these peaks. I can handle 100 litres for my 70 kg in good conditions but I think now there are bigger and wider boards which turn well for my weight. I already have a longboard for soft peaks, now I'm refering only to stable boards for choppy+light wind+currents peaks, which could fit in my car (8' to 8'2"), as long as possible to catch as many waves as possible in an easy way. I only go for small to medium size waves.

I'd appreciate suggestions of boards around 115-125 litres which could comply these conditions.
