After spending several weeks and demoing a number of boards I finally ended up with the Angulo 9ft. I originally set out to purchase a 2nd board down sizing from an 11ft board to something lighter, more maneouverable but still relatively stable. With a great deal of assistance from Adam and Anita at The Paddle Shack, Davistown I am more than happy with the purchase.

I managed to demo the board in a variety of conditions from 1-2ft shore breaks to shoulder height point breaks and to say the least was more than impressed with the stability of such a short board. Saying that the board is 31 3/4" wide which after demoing other manufactures 9ft boards was like stepping back on a larger board. I had no issues with the balance in quite sloppy conditions and spending almost 3 hrs on the board in one session.

Once again a big thanks to The Paddle Shack for all the assistance needed to find the board to suit my needs.
