Anyone have experience with 10 foot or longer boards? Have a Billy Tolhurst 9'6" Surftech & a McCoy 9'2" single fin, but would like a bigger single fin for the paddle power and early wave catching... At 53 with stuffed shoulders paddle power now main criteria. Sometimes surf a NSP 10'2", great paddler but ordinary ride. Anyone have experiece with, say a Surftech RA What I Ride or similar, or would a McTavish Cruiser fit the bill for fat South Oz Middleton waves in 1-4' range? Spoke to the bloke who has the original pink McT Cruiser at Torquay about 7 or 8 months ago, he is a really big bloke & was catching waves so easily... wondering whether a Surftech 10footer would paddle better than a 6?6?6 oz poly board given similar rockers, shapes etc. Like the look of the Redline as well, but the prices.... Unfortunately ST no longer make Munoz Glides. Any advice appreciated!

Mate, The Cruiser would be perfect!

I nearly bought that Pinky/Apricot Cruiser too! I know the board, and the owner!

Go custom, pick your dimensions, and get a simple classic tint! Clear Volane, Red, Light Blue, Light Green... The world is your oyster with tinting!

These just look so 'right'- 10 footers can look ungainly or out of proportion. Sorely tempted. Owned a carver fish shaped by Bob late 90s, wish I still had it Is quality still good?

Pup, but the boards work really well!

I've heard recently that the EvoII is very sort after down here... Price is literally the only thing holding it back!

And a large EvoII is a little similar to a Cruiser anyway!

simondo, they might work well, but do they work $500 or so/ plus better


mact are in the boutique range of boards ie for rich dudes


understand some like to pay that difference as an investment

asea i was out at pushing 5 ft alley tuesday on the log- not something that is really enjoyable- wrong board for it as much as i like the hotlog. today at lm was perfect for it

cheers will catch you up
