6'1 @ 175LBS. Looking for some input and experiences when it comes to the fanatic prowave. I currently have an 8'6 allwave and I am looking to make the step to the 8'10 prowave. Major difference in stability? Much weight difference between the hrs and LTD versions? LTD get damaged easy? thanks.

u will b fine on 8'10. im 210 and 6'3 and could sorta manage on a messy day. surfed really well and very light (carbon). i was coming down off a 9'2 allwave so u should have no probs

I have the 8'10 prowave and love it. It's tough too, given it the odd accidental wack with the paddle and there is not a mark on it, although i have a thin rubber strip on the paddle edge.

Oops, meant to say mine is the carbon ltd .... weighs 7.5 kg.

Thanks for the input boys. I pulled the trigger and got myself an 8'10 prowave ltd. Had it out in choppy windy knee to waste this morning and had a blast. How good do these things look? cripes im obsessed with it. GF asked to paddle it, told her i saw a shark. she changed her mind. Going to see a lot of sharks from now on. [}:)] I have read that the top and sides are more durable than the base. Any issues with puncture damage?
