Hi,

I have been riding a Fanatic Pro wave 8'6 x 28 3/4 (about 115L) for 2 years now, can surf pretty much everything except past double overhead when I don't want to get flogged inside! The board feels pretty stable to me, I'm 5'11, about 78Kg, I take it in choppy conditions up to 15 knots without too much stability issues (definitely a challenge with the chop but manageable).All up happy with the board but find the rails way too boxy for my liking, especially when riding sucky waves, and would like to step down to a "radical" board (closer to a shortboard feel), this one feels big.
I have been thinking about the starboard 8.0 x 28 pro as a replacement, what do you guys think? Also is it a good all rounder or more a "good wave" board?

I was also thinking of getting a 2 boards quiver to cover all bases :
8.0 x 28 pro for good / biggish days
7'10 x 30 airborne for crappy / small days

Any advice on the choices based on my ability etc would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
