10'1x 26.5 deep jackson close long board

7'8 x 28 deep minion

7'8 x 27 deep custom for when its big

I mainly ride the 10'1 cause its fun from 1ft up.

My main 3 boards. I weigh from 77kg to 85kg Lol!
Sunova Soul 8ft 3" 29 wide110litres My favourite in most conditions. 90% of my sessions. Excellent solid construction. Still like new.
JP Wide Body 8ft 2" 32 wide 124 litres Great in choppy lumpy water. Nice flat deck. So comfortable. But can be corky in big choppy surf.
Coreban Hyper 7ft. 31wide. Heaps of nose rocker. Great for dumpy surf. And is my foil board now too. Love it.

I like the Soul too, though mine is a 9.5 @ 150lt.

I was actually wondering why Sunova dropped it from their lineup. It doesn't appear on their website anymore.

Anyone?

Nice thread!

My current quiver:
Infinity RNB 7'11"
Infinity New Deal 10'x27"
Infinity Downtown Flatdeck 14'x25"

That is a cool quiver of Infinitys. Another brand I'd like to investigate more.

What's that RNB 7'11 like ?
And where/what waves do you use it in??

Generally I surf it on waist to head high waves but not so steep. The board is super fast and stable for its dims, I weight 80kgs and I am comfortable even on 20knots onshore winds. Sometimes it feels like a skateboard under my feet. One of the best shortboard sup I've ever used.

Time we re-visited this old thread... for a fat old guy who wished he started surfing at 12 not 42 ...
9'1 acid
9'4 creek
10'0 style/surf ( cant decide which yet)

covered all bases

I had a Soul 9'5 and loved it.
Was my first step to advancing my surfing.
Maybe a bit too much volume for me at 78Kg, but handled most conditions& felt like a smaller board on the wave.

I'd say the closest to the Soul 9'5 that I've tried is the Jimmy Lewis Stun Gun 9'7.
Though I'd give the edge to the Stun Gun for performance.

my perfect 3 boards quiver:
-gong soul 9'4/27/105
-gong karmen 7'8/27/95
-gong karmen 7'11/28/105

140kg. Paddle more flatwater & choppy water than surf but the boards are:

ONE 17'4" x 26.5 fast flatwater cruiser
ONE 16'8" x 28.5 lumpy/choppy dugout
ONE 11'2" x 36" surf fish
