Well, I have an old 6'6 under the house just in case a 2015 miracle occurs....

i did the same mate,but sadly it just sat there
hope you get to use it

Yes indeed but she goes ok after spending 5yrs plus on a 666 already. She went for a few paddles today and fell in a lot but she should be right in a few weeks - hopefully. I think its a step too far to be honest but lets see how she goes over the next few weeks. We have a bit of time up our sleeves before we leave so if it is to much for her - we can swap it - it will be a great board at a great price and a piece of cake to travel with if it works out.

Its absolutely incredible how light it is. Makes life a lot easier for her - from grabbing it from the shed to putting in the car - yep she fits straight in - so that in itsself will make loads of difference.

Lets just say that all the girls today were extremely jealous of it due to its weight etc. A few of them had a paddle and went ok on it.

I might take it for a surf one day - looks like a lovely shape ! ! ! ! ! It might be my new step up

Thinking 7.3 to 7.6 eggy type shape. Do you guys think it will be good for beachies??

Thinking kind of a mct sumo type board.

Any other suggestions?

I bought a similar shape as the Sumo for East Coast beachies. Mine was 6'10" but it is fantastic. I have surfed it in knee high beachies up to triple head high reefs. It's versatility has amazed me. The fat nose paddles so well and the pintail turns surprisingly well. It was my first longboard shape - while acknowledging a 6'10" is a short mid-length.

I went for a grovel the other day, surf was small fat and weak and a bloke on a 7ftish Tak out paddled me, out surfed me and looked like he was having a bucket load more fun then me in the sumo (6'8)

Having said that IMO the scorp and suno are 2 different boards the Tak is a shrunken lb good up to head highish I'd guess. Wider nose then the sumo and more of a cut down mal type board where the sumo looks to have bit more range. Sumo seemed more pulled in in the tail and not as wide overall.
For me the sumo is an all rounder type board and the sumo is a bit of a small wave fun board.

Id own either of them.
