Boards people have progressed to in the surf...
Just wondering what boards and what liters/ dimensions you have progressed to surfing over the years ??
My first surf shape was a pro wave 8"10 119 L - 29.25 wide. It took me a long while to get used to that board at 6"2 and 90 plus Kgs. It had a very small sweet spot when standing and a lot of yaw.
It was hard in heavy chop but I got used to it and used to glide into anything at just under 9 foot. Surfed well but wanted to try something different.
I then bought a yob 8"3 107- at 29 wide. I have been surfing that since the start of the year and moving back down south to where the waves are from the desert up north ????. I couldn't believe how stable the board was being slightly underwater but also down to 87kg has helped, Obviously the shape helps as well but it surfs unreal is easy to control in the chop still a bit of work but found a new love haha. So I just sold my prowave.
I just picked up a starboard pro 8"0 by 28 at 105 liters to give a shot, Will be interesting to see how that goes at 28 wide and 6"2 have not had a chance to ride the board yet. Anyways for me dialing down the liters to where you really feel you can surf the boards how you want is well worth the effort.
Interested in other people's journeys and where they are now and your progression. Cheers keep frothn
