Ok so after some expert advice/opinions again......

Ive been looking at/trying a few boards lately..
I am looking at a either 2010 9'6 hokua, 2011 9'6 hokua and 2014 8'11 allwave.

Me: 33yrs, 95kg's 6'3 . surfed short boards for years and have had 4years of SUP riding, but on bigger boards, after a smaller more maneuverable board for fun sunny coast conditions.

All help appreciated (or other board suggestions)

Cheers

They r not an easy comparo... completely diff boards.

9'6 is heavier imo goes best in steeper power waves. the all wave is marginally lighter but goes good in 2 foot dribble, but is not great when the waves get serious.

if its for small summer dribblers, id go the allwave everyday of the week

That's not a Holden & Ford question but more like a truck and sports car question....the 8-11 wins all day.

Haha fair enough, I guess I was abit worried the 8'11 rails, being so thick and boxie might not perform so well, hence the hokua option. (Defiantly not looking to go pro anytime soon.... But would still like to have the option to throw it around abit) anyone find the all wave restrictive?
