Hello Crew.
Had a 10'2" log made locally a year ago. Have surfed it and a mid length since then, but there is a hole in the quiver.
Had an epoxy 9'4" which I used to ride on the beach breaks, but have gotten rid of it, as I am sold on heavier less corky boards.
Need suggestions on all round longboards.
When it's small and slow, out comes the 10'2", when it's got a bit of go, out comes the mid length, but for medium beach breaks and lets face it, around here that's a lot of the time, I need a go to board. Would stay around 9'4" x 23" x 3", would prefer a bit of weight and of course only a single fin! Also a fin box, so I can play around with different ideas.
I'm open to all suggestions, including customs.
Cheers Sandsy.

Something like a Jason blewitt model....

Not the Mact one.

Best all rounder I have had.

I Use my 10' Hotlog as an everyday board as its amazingly versatile but ideally i'd prefer it in a 9'6".

I think my ideal would be the 7' SubX, 9'3" Whalebone, 9'6" Hot Log, 10'1" Creative Army Sweetlove... So really, i just need to snap the 10' HL so I can order a shorter one

I have a McCoy allround mal which is a single and it is a great board I think. Made by Geoff.

I have heard a lot of people also talk about how versatile and awesome the hotlog is.

True McHenry, wishing I'd kept my Hotlog.

Another vote for the Whalebone too.

And I reckon one of RG's Silk Pins in a 9'4-9'6 would be a sweet ride too.
