On the long journey from Sydney to Noosa, I stopped off at a gentle pointbreak, met Rod Hocker (Boardbumps) and tested out the brand new PSH 9'3" Ripper that I was transporting for Lummers (Allrounder). Some fun little waves on a great board were had just as the sun was setting.

Here's a little vid of the session:

A full review to come (when AA lets me have a few more surfs on his demo 9'3" Ripper) but for now, just let me say, this is a great board with good stability, great paddling glide and awesome flow through turns.

Looking good casso Hows it stack up against the Naish 9 3" ? You should have tried One of Rods boards, did a 5 hr sess on the 8 6" today, loving it

Goodonyamate,where did they get that swell from that arvo?It went flat as here.Same as Brooko asked,how was it compared to "Woody"(9'3" Naish)tippy as?
What are the dimentions?
Have PSH woken up and given you sponsership with the whole range of boards,open ticket round the world???
well,they bloody well should!!

Mate its not only about the numbers,its stature,profile,and how they want their product portrayed.I reckon you would be a great ambassador for any SUP manufacturer.Come on AA,sign this guy up before someone else gets hold of his talent?
Goodonyamate,

Casso that is awesome! What weight are you? (if thats not too personal a question)
Hilly and I have the 9'6 wide ripper and 9'6 wide AA arriving out west in the next day or so.
I'm thinking it might be a little tricky for me anyway at 100kgs?

I'm 83kg.

Either of the 9'6" wides will be fine for 100kg, I reckon ... but you won't stay 100kg for too long if you get plenty of water time in on a 9'6" (especially with lots of choppy days). Just another added bonus of dropping a few inches off your board length.
