Hey everyone, I am 6,3 and 117 kg, went from 11' wave guru down to a 8'11 shroom which I love, mainly in summer. I want to get another board that will glide more and still surf well, any thoughts ? I guess the other is the whopper?
cheers

I am enjoying the 10' Jimmy Lewis Striker. Light but strong as, stable, nice glide, easy to move around, turns well. Can't ask for much more.

I started out on a 10' Mana at 6'2 ~118kgs and now on a 9'5" Speeed at ~98kgs - IMO the Mana was a slightly quicker board due to less rocker, and the blunt nose of the Speeed does feel (to me) to push a little more water. I'd assume the 9'11" would be similar but not 100% on that. I love my Speeed but the Mana (again IMO) might have a little more glide. The Speeed is better on the wave and is more designed with surfing in mind, but the Mana still performs okay and is probably better gliding

You are lighter than me and i surf a 9'5 speeed.
