Looking for some input. I stepped down from a 10'8 Fusion to a Carbon 9' hypernut. Now I'm 6'3 and 115 kgs. But have been surfing for over 4o years. So fairly advanced. After several months of persistence have no problem paddling the hypernut on flat water but once in the surf I spend most of my time in the water rather than on a wave. I have narrowed it down to a Blue Carbon 10'5 Wide point, a carbon 10 + 34 Whopper.Another board that have checked out is the Sunova Speeed 9'11. Love to get some feedback as I'm not wanting to make the same mistake again. It gets a little expensive.
