Hi all I need assistance with my next purchase.

I'm currently on a Hobie 7'11" at 105 litres. While this board is great on a wave in glassy conditions I struggle in chop and have started losing the stoke on it. I did demo it first however the conditions were ideal.

I am only 65 Kg and my level of talent is really not up to fighting with this board any longer.

Currently looking at something around 130 litres (stop laughing you lot) however I just want the fun back again for me anyway.

I have narrowed it down to the Starboard Pocket Rocket 8'5", Naish Mana 8'5" and Fanatic All Wave 8'6". All these boards get pretty good reviews.

Comments please and let me know if there is something else I should be looking at.

Cheers, Gav
