my soontobe wife has a new board and allowed me to take it for a spin this afternoon at the pass, well...awesome! paddled well once the sweet spot was found, turns harder than im used to as it bucked me off more than once, sweeeeeeet to toe flick about the place and ive still got a long way to go....tippy compared to my 10'6 lsd from Noel but that'll work out I can feel it. all of this and i weigh in at a tender 130kg 6'2 atop this marvel, loads of fun to look forward to, just have to spend a bit more time down the beach on this baby before rejoining the tail end of the pack waiting for more scraps..ha. Nice one Naish.
p.s. the anti sup tension is heating up at the pass,no wave anywhere else, eight sups spread through the line up (behaving well and hanging wide - mostly) but even towards cooks' the moans could be heard, clearly.
hi.i a big fat 105kg pom that rides a mana 10 and was wondering how the 9.5 mana went for floatation.how was the glide and trim on that 9.5 mine is the only down side,but i am a wingin pom after all.im thinking about going to starboarld world when i decide whats the right board for me.decions,,,
^ hey,
Ive had few goes at the 10' and to be honest farked if i know,
better to ask a more experienced rider. floating yeeeah, but it's more like those 'low volume' boards that others have mentioned (nose out, water lapping the heels, fine on the wave)
Happy hunting...
sal.
