Any feedback on 2 boards above would be helpful. I continue to weigh about 92kegs and am 5'7". Currently 48 years.
I am still tossing up between to these boards on the way down from a 160l 10' No name that I can turn in the right conditions.

Lots of surfing experience but not so keen on long boarding as I prefer down the line speed and full rail turns.

In particular, I would like to differentiate the boards in relation to:
1. turning, holding a rail and speed (performance i suppose)
2. stability and wave entry
3. durability and strength.

I appreciate some will say both boards are to big for performance surfing and that a wide body shorter board may be better. My experience in the line up, and the number of second hand boards on this site, suggests a lot of heavy guys have failed on the wide bodies. I like a high wave count and early wave entry but know a compromise is in order.

Demos would be great I know but unlikely for a number of reasons.

I appreciate any ideas or feedback.

Still Fatso for now.
