Hi - anyone riding one - outline it looks like my Merrick Biscuit shorty - which I love- looking for a small wave SUP that fits easily in the car and good for travelling with - price is nice as well - bit wide maybe

Ride a 9ft Coreban and was looking for something a liitle more surfable in the pocket

Cheers

The silence is deafening - thanks

Cross this part of the forum off the list for useful information about SUP's then

You had me all excited Russ when i saw the dimensions 7'10 but then i looked it up and found its still 128 litres. You are welcome to have a go sometime on my 7'11 if you want which is 116 litres.

Thanks - I did a search on this site for it but came up with zilch - i must have used wrong words.

I paddled one on a demo day in flat water and it felt like it would be fun in our little local waves

Anyone got a second hand one!!

No worries, nah because post older than 1 year, I remember reading it and had to do a google search to find it.

Ask soggy... he has/had one.

I tried it, my advice.

look elsewhere.
its a pig.

try the:

Starboard Pocket rocket for a loose stable fun "adelaide" board
or
Fanatic Prowave 8'10 for a performance yet stable board.
(i have the fanatic, a little floaty for me but a wiked, wiked board)

hope this helped

Yeah,got one...very corkee..for its size...still good fun board,when you feel like a change of boards..would be better with 10 litres less..or if you weigh 100kgs.

Hey, i left out the fat jokes in my reply. I was gonna say that when i saw it was 128 litres that it was a short board for fat guys
You beat me to the pun Russ.

no stress russ,

i weigh 85kgs, if that helps.

understand what you mean tho, I have ridden some higher volume boards, such as the STar 8"10 widepoint and Star pocket rocket and both are fun boards for high volume.

Sadly if you want something that sits in the pocket you might need to sacrifice some volume and stability.

Im doing the same now.

cheers

Traded it on the Hokua Andrew mainly cause I didn't get to ride that much it was very corky ridable but just enjoyed my other boards more . I had riden the 8'10 widepoint and found that fun . I think the Uber is too much volume in to too shorter board
