i want to surf, with my board you can surf but i want something more reactive and lighter, im 180cm 80kg, my 130L floats perfectily, fanatic allwave 8,6. i like naish and fanatic, i dont know if hokua 8,5, or the 7,6 le (others le are too small, i think), or fanatic prowave 8,5. i want something stable but more performance, not bigger than 8,5 because there is not more space.... i can see boards very small and widder, but i dont know if that Works.... like naish 7,6 LE, and some models of starboard.
sorry, i have a fanatic allwave 130 L, i want something more reactive for waves but with stability, i can see hokua 8,5, fanatic prowave 8,5, hojua LE 7,6 (maybe too small i dont know if it works), the volumen is similar but i dont know if i will be more time under the w??ter that on the board..... im 80kg
Try Hokua 8'3, Starboard 8'0 and Fanatic 8'0. Could also have a go on the SB 7'10x30" Airborn. They're all pretty fun boards!As for stability, you'll get it after some tim on those boards!
I tried a pocket rocket and found it very comfortable stability wise and surfs great. I'm by no means a good surfer but I decided to challenge myself with the starbie 8'5 pro at 106 litres. Have to say I'm very very happy with the choice. Glides so well into the waves, very reactive and stability wise (for me) miles ahead of the 8'10 fanatic pro wave and 9' hokua I tried. Haven't really had it out in anything choppy yet, but hopefully my balance will improve and all will be good. No problems in clean surf. Love it. I'm 80kg and 6ft.
