G"day Guys

Short time Lurker, first time poster. Been surfing short boards since the good ole days of the 70,s and for the past 18 months have gotten into Standups which has seen my water time increase greatly after always finding an excuse to not go out
on the shorty , crap surf being the main one. My first board was a Surftech Takayama 10'3 x 27 which although being a very tippy thing was excellent for flat water and a great wave catcher when conditions werent too rough, a real longboard feel too it. Recently got the urge for a change into something more shortboardy so started reading all the posts and reviews on here and overseas to get a gauge on whats happening, have tried the Naish Hokua 9'3 Hokua and also
the Mana 9'5(Yeah Jacko its me!) Obviously a bit of beef difference there on those two, one thing that seemed to be missing on all the specs and reviews of boards was the actual weight of the board itself and after a Lone session on a back break near Jumpinpin and getting cleaned up by a 10 wave set on the Mana i decided that lighter is better going by the length of my legrope afterwards. Seems the board makers arent too keen to give out the weights of boards and although you obviously add a bit more with the grip and fins,that doesnt amount too much extra really.
Recently mulled over the new info on PSH after having a go on the old 9'6wide ripper (thanks Wazza) and having a ball. Went in and saw Jacko who did a good deal for me on the new 9'2 Wide Ripper and had a bit of fun on it today in a grovel down the Tweed Coast. But it has surprised me that it is actually heavier than the 9'6 I tried when all the goss was that they were going to be a lighter range than the moulded ones. At 10.8kg on my scales it certainly isnt too heavy but I was just wondering whats the keg range on what you guys are riding?
Excess baggage and Back beach walking tracks come to mind.
