Hi there,
I am an intermediate rider weighting 70 kg. Currently on a Naish Mana 8?10 which I found quite heavy and difficult to tirn with my weight, I am looking at getting a new board, probably a Fanatic Stubby 8?3, 105 L.
Coul anyone give me some feedback on the board and let me know if it could be a good step up for me?
Thanks in advance.

Got one - I'm 80 kegs and have 9 ft laird surfer so stubby is for beach breaks or mushy stuff. Floatations and balance should be good for you at 70 kg. Can't say I've got it going to its potential yet - but I'm happy with it. I started as thruster but have gone to quad with some shapers stealth fins

Hi!
I am considering updating my 2017 Stubby (8'2" - 29" - 105L ) , to the new 2019 Stubby (same size, 8'3").
Is there a real difference? pro & cons ?
My 2017 is sssooo easy to take the waves (which is fun), buy not such a great feeling and/or speed on the wave.
Any thoughts will be appreciated
Liat.
