Bought a 10' × 23 1/4" × 3 3/8" McT Cruiser about a month ago. Surfed it about 5-6 times in 2-3' Rainbow/Coolangatta where it went well (what doesn't!) Before bringing it home to Sth Oz. Used it now about 1/2 dozen times 1-4' Middleton/Day Street and can say that after 38 years surfing this stretch on and off I think I have found the perfect board for our fat/full crumblers! Super easy paddling wave catching; momentum to get round crumbling and fat sections, and surprising speed and turning from the tail. The only other 10'ers I've surfed are a very underwhelming NSP epoxy job and my old Barry Bennett pig from around the mid 60s. So much easier to paddle than any other board in my quiver. Got me thinking about going longer again (11')??? I'm so stoked that I've stared a Facebook page called "10 foot plus surfboards". Hopefully others besotted with the glide, paddling and easy stoke these boards provide will join the group and share photos and experiences! Love to also hear from shapers who have dabbled in big boards.
