Well said Mc Henry get yourself a 906 or 10 foot Whalebone by CLEARWATER SURFBOARDS as Steve to maybe play with rocker if standard has too much rock and roll

The whalebone isn't really low rockered or wide by longboard standards. Its more performance than noserider, but its a great compromise between the too. If the Superfish & McCoys have been alright in McHenry's waves, then the rocker shouldn't need any adjustment

Glide = weight

In terms of local shaper I would disagree. Lots of good boards out there these days that would suit those waves. Can also advise a shaper what / where you are surfing and your level and they will make you something suitable.

In all honesty though I would think you have boards suitable for what you surf already. Your secret to success will be perseverance and spending more time in the water. Surfing takes a long time to master even the basics. It doesn't happen over night. You need to do the time. Watch lots of videos and see how people are moving on their boards and what they are doing with their arms & legs - extending and compressing and looking where you are wanting to go - these are the key ingredients. Get hold of Nick Carrols second book on intermediate surfing and have a read. Yes it's short board focussed but you will learn a huge amount. Maybe invest some cash in some lessons. You do that in most other sports - tennis, golf, snowboarding etc so why is surfing any different. No substitute for time in the water

Relax @ Mick I was just pimping for the team however a flatter rocker like the WB wider @ 23 / 24 would work in McHenrys soft cock waves, he should've able to snake and drop in

Just for fun, coz my local part of the country is still plagued by devil wind till tomorrow

Rocker comparison...my whalebone


McHenry's Hotlog actually has the same dims, maybe a little more kick in the tail. Whalebone would have more glide if thats the case.
