Fireball Evo 2 9' 1" ? 22 7/8" ? 2 7/8"

RA is the very flat rocker -what I ride

I am after a very different very light board for the everyday surf we get at the beach which is far from good but do not want a log.

I had a ride on a friends 8 plus yrs old tuflite and caught more waves than ever but he won't sell and it's no longer available.

Anyone currently riding the 9' Robert August - what I ride tuflite version.

I am 76 kg and want an easy wave catching board without loosing too much manourvability

At 75 kegs I can't see why you'd have any trouble on any board.

I was hoping for an experienced rider view on the RA board.

While I agree with your comment I am looking for a board to complement my Mc T Evo 2 quiver and be different

Can't miss with his boards. I had the 9'6" of the 'What I Ride' and it was a bit big for me, particularly the local beach breaks. Tried the 9' and it was perfecto.

Well as anyone with a new board knows do not expect the surf to cooperate.

I took my RA all the way down onto the sand and just sat there, no way could I take this board out in this and I thought I had a Board for cap conditions.

Hoping tomorrow will be better, I know all of you out there are on my side.

I now have had a few surfs on this board in very ordinary to poor surf and it has given more rides and more fun than I have had for a long time on a LB

The RA makes catching and riding waves considerably easier plus I am much more confident at late take offs and steep waves.

In time I feel I will have redeveloped my skills and may even be able to ride my Mc T Fireball Evo 2 with more wave catching ability.
