Hi Seaking,

As this is an Australian forum and you have suggested that two of the boards are local to California, I doubt whether you will get much feedback from anyone on here.

The difference between the Prowave LTD and the HRS is the LTD is lighter and has a better set of fins. If you are looking for lightweight, buy the LTD carbon/innegra, if weight isn't a consideration, go the HRS and spend a few more dollars and upgrade the fins from standard.

The Prowaves are an excellent surf board.

I know its an Australian forum and I think a lot of Aussie are really good surfers Plus not afraid to speak your minds that is why i posted here. Hoping that a few of you will look at the sup sports and kings websites look at their shape see what they think and why.

For me I read the Tom Carroll/ Blane Chambers shape discussion several times because of the uniqueness of his boards and bottom shapes..

Also finding a fanatic to demo in California is difficult .

One of my thoughts is having a custom made board that has a Blane chambers /tom carroll style double concave on the nose instead of a more conventional broad concave. And a more traditional double concave v of the tail . Not being wealthy I can't just drop 2K on a custom board if I'm not sure it will work, but still would like to push the design envelope.

To me it is amazing how many shapers find one niche that they like and basically reshape that board over and over with little variables like length width volume,

So I am on a quest for info and opinions and thoughts.

Fanatic boards are great. I'm a satisfied customer.

Haven't ridden every other board under the sun to compare, but definitely like them a lot. The Allwave is really versatile, works well in small sloppy waves, through to reasonably decent sized clean waves, and is easy to use, and fairly maneuverable.
