Got mine today, what an awesome board
Thanks Rob.

Feedback please !!!!!

Got mine today!! After some back and forth with Jimmy and a much anticipated wait I have recieved my new board! Jimmy Lewis Destroyer, 7'7" x 29" at 100 ltrs. Absoulutely exactly what I was looking for. Nice full nose coming back to pin tail. This will be my main got to board as it should handle any conditions we get here in FL. It has a nice flat deck, comfy looking pad, weighs nothing and the fit and finish of everything is absolutley amazing. Not only did I want the dimensions of this board but also wanted the bomber construction these boards have a reputation for. Military guy and definetly on a budget, this is the first board I have bought brand new and I had to buy it sight unseen so I was very nervous. But after everything I could not be happier and look forward to many fun years with her!

Hi Pady,
If the weather clears tomorrow I'll get my new 10' Destroyer out & take some photos including the rocker line...I got mine last week & took it straight to Scotts Head for the paddle games and as soon as I rode it loved it...1-2' surf & it turned on a dime yet still let me get on the nose (even with a fractured foot)... Can't wait to get it in some juice... Rob

Love the idea of the Destroyer! Looks and sounds like one hell of a board.
One of my current boards is the 8'9 World Wide, it is my clean day board for when the surf is pumping. I find it a bit tippy if there is too much chop and wobble.
Tossing up between the 8'5 or 8'10 Destroyer as my next board. Would love the idea of going down to the 8'5 but not sure if that would be too much of a jump. Really want an all round board that I can depend on if its clean and pumping or a bit choppy for a grovel.

Anyone got any ideas or advice?

Cheers

I am 6'2 weighing in between 85 - 90 Kg's.....depending on levels of beer intake around holidays!
Right now my go to board for those bumpier more challenging days is my Allwave 9'5 which is obviously super stable. Would be good to find an all-round board as my new go to. From what I can read the Destroyer looks like it could be the go.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any comparison in the stability of the 8'9 World Wide with the 8'10 Destroyer? Would you say the Destroyer with its outline is an inherently more stable board?

I love the performance of the World Wide on the wave but the waiting around bit can prove a little challenging in less than perfect conditions.

Cheers

Awesome mate, thanks for the info and help.
Destroyer definitely seems the way to go. Can't go past the quality construction and performance of a Jimmy!
Lets hope I can convince the Mrs to expand my quiver.....maybe a Fathers day present?

Cheers

Super stoked my 8ft destroyer finally arrived. The hype is real..feels like an absolute machine..I'm running the Large Quobba sides with the medium quobba centre fin.

Nice board! Are you running the medium Quobba FCS in an FCS centre box adaptor, and the side large quobbas in Futures?

Hey Rob,
Any update on perhaps 2 widths of destroyer, like the Super Frank?

Hoppy,I asked the same question a while back,I love the idea,especially in the lower sizes.IMO the 10 ft/29/125 liters is spot on for a one board gig the only board so far to challenge the JL striker another amazing quiver killer,2 designs that suit me,with bomber construction!!!/longevity/resale ect.Im a very happy paying customer who insists on value for Money,as I have had to many costly mistakes with many other brands.Back to your question all I got back from Rob was he would ask Jimmy.You need to ask the new distributor Rod as Rob has moved on .

Just messaged them... Hopefully it is on the radar...

not a option yet unfortunately.

Hi guys, did anyone test the Destroyer MP 10' with single fin ?
thanks !

HI CaptainJmbo,
Yes Rod will have the 9'3" Destroyer at Merimbula...
