I can't comment on the carrier except Iam pretty sure it is 32"wide.
The Simon Anderson 9'0" x 29" looks the goods and is great fun to surf

Ah yes, the 9' x 29" sure is a good looker,

I'm pretty sure the 2012 9' carrier is 31 1/2" as opposed to 32", just don't think the website has been updated?

Wood finish also does not feature on the Stand sure website.

I hear the new wood veneer finish boards are a little lighter? Hope so cause the white ones weigh a TON

What's with the pads falling to pieces too? Seen a few LSD and SA sups with crumbling deck pads? Yours looks like theyve adopted the old grooved pads as opposed to the diamond deck pads, safe.

Yeah the diamond pattern deck grip has been replaced with more durable grooved stuff with the latest boards.....SA & LSD.
We can add your name to the list of people keen to see the WoW website updated.....you should see some of their new race and down wind boards!!....there is a couple of threads on here.
The timber veneer boards feel nice & light....haven't weighed them though.
The current WoW stocklist says the 9'0" carrier is 32"wide, 138 litres.

Hey SUP cuz, you should try the LSD 8'6 if you want shorter and wider. A mate of mine has just swapped from the 9'6 LSD down to the 8'6 and reckons it is more stable and 10x more fun. I'm currently 90kg and ride the 8'6 and 8'8 LSD's.

Hey Andrew, yeah I've eyed up the 8'6" but can't afford a new one!

This used Carrier came up and looks the goods, so seems a good option.

Know anyone keen to trade their flashback for a 9'6" LSD?

Would love to keep the LSD for juicer days, but just can't afford a quiver of sup boards!!!

Hey tomooh, cheers for the offer fella, did look at the JM 9' myself, but at 120L I'm not sure It would hold my 100 clicks! Too many pies!

Serendip, is Mike Cann still involved with the WoW distribution over this way?

Kinda keen on the flashback now........

How's the diamond grip holding out on your 8'8" by the way? Have heard of a few warranty claims on em as some are just falling to pieces..... All being honoured by the distributor tho which is admirable

Yeah unfortunately they looked really good but didn't last. Mine is getting replaced soon. The new grip looks good too though so no drama.
