Hi all I would appreciate your advice
I'm 6 ft and 108kg, been surfing for over 20 years on mainly fish surfboards (sub 7ft) and supping for 3-4 years(intermediate to advanced). I have a Al merrick 9'1 Caddie which is 30 inch's wide and 136 l of float. I find this board great if the conditions are clean but a bit tippy if there is a chop on the wave.

I'm looking for a quad board with a bit more stability and to come down in size.
My normal wave is a beach break with medium power.
Im interested in the

Naish Hokua x32 (8'8)

JP Surf Wide Body (8'8)

Starboard Widepoint (8'10) I have been told that these are very stiff boards?

All boards in Carbon or the pro finish models.

I have read some of the articles on these boards but all the riders seem to be between 85kg and 100kg.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated from those with experience on these boards

Steve
