Hey guys!

After seeing some graphs recently on volume ratios, I'm intrigued to know how many others prefer stay at the upper end of the ratio?Based on my weight of 72kg, and relatively advanced skill level it suggested I should be on about 100l.
My current boards are 118 and 122l (8'1 and 9'0) in length.

I've gone down to around 95l and a 107l version of my 8'1 but they just seem slower, more unstable, don't catch the smaller stuff as easily and also then don't catch the bigger stuff as easily due to slower paddle speed.
On the 95l board I found myself hanging out in the same break zone as the long boarders and thought what's the point if they could pick them up in the same place?

I just don't see the appeal of low volume boards. The trade-offs from my experience don't seem to be worth it.

Wondering if anyone else finds the same and prefers to be on the upper end of the scale?

Cheers
