Santa dropped Eski a beaut: 8'0 x 30.5 118L Hipster Twin carbon rail / wood. Purchased from S.U.S.S Nth Freo. $1650 (not affiliated - just a punter).
Rail taped, finned and christened this morning in calf-side choppers.
Relevant rider details: 180cm 78kgs very average SUP.
I was a bit dubious about the size being a large step down for me dropping 10" length and 1.5" width and 25L volume. Was a few new board kooky moments (typical for me in any case).
Got a couple of little ones and turns effortlessly. Keen to get it going in better conditions.
Merry SMIK-mas everyone!

Cheers Eski
