Gday Forum.

I Would really like some advice on what size AllWave I should be looking at.
I am 67kg and would like a board that will cater for some flatwater cruising/fitness as well as some small surf.

I came close to buying a 9'2 Prowave based on an excellent price, but maybe I was getting to ahead of my abilities and requirements.

Any advice would be great.

Not much time at all....I was loaned a 10' Mana some time ago but that was only for a couple of days.

Rule of thumb with the Allwave seems to be "one size smaller than you first think" (I have the 9'10 but never thought I'd be on a sub-10 board)

Hey a noodles. No I haven't ridden the 8'6 yet. I rode an 8'10 pro wave 118l and while it was ok.... It was a bit of a battle. Also rode an Fone in 8'6 x 30 same as all wave but 5 litres less. It was a bit of a struggle but surfed really well. I'd say the stable AW outline and 130 litres should do the job.

Only problem now is I took my wif out today on the 9'2 for her first paddle.....moved it.... Wants to keep the 9'2 .. Arrrggghh. My plan is being destroyed.... Unless I have both
