Hey guys,

Anyone have any input on the differences between the 2013 & 2014 Fanatic Allwave in 9'6? I believe there may be a 1" length difference and a slightly different volume & shape, but overall are they similar in terms of stability & performance? I understand the Allwave is not a high performer in the surf but if I'm honest, having a moderate 'surfability' is all I'll need. Gone are the days of super sharp bottom turns, cutbacks & floaters for me! Just looking for something stable that I'm not pushing sh!t uphill to get out to the break on or get onto smaller waves with! Any advice appreciated as there are 2013's around that are significantly less $ than the 2014...

The 9'5 replaces the 9'6. They have pulled the nose in and dropped the rails to give the 2014 board a bit more performance on the wave - & its a squash tail not a swallow.

Anybody around the Brisbane/Sunny Coast/Goldy area know of a Demo board available for trying out the 9'6 Allwave? Don't mind if it's 2013 or 2014 as they sound very similar (I'm not at a level where I'd notice much difference).

hi, the biggest difference will be the paddle out in white water as the 2014 pulled in nose with lower profile will pierce the waves but the old nose is a bitch.
