I just purchased my 7th SUP which includes a Jimmy lewis 10, and a PSH 9,3 Ripper
10'5 starboard and I have to say this ones the best of them all.
Simon from Newcastle SUP has been at me a while to try one of these puppies and I can say after purchasing one and riding it in some pretty heavy surf over the weekend I am stoked.
Firstly from the takeoff it paddles with my 80kgs with ease and surprisingly with the surf outline very straight.
I purposely paddled in late on a few,no problems the rocker made the drop a breeze.Mal riders were commenting how well the rails hung in on the steepest drops.
I have never surfed a quad before but my first bottom turn laid that fear to rest,coming of the bottom with seemingly no loss of speed to set up the next drop off the re entry.
I spoke to MR before my purchase and he mentioned how stable the 9'6 was as he had come off a 10' and the 9'6 subvector was more stable,I have to agree.[MR knows a good shape when he sees one]The deck seems almost concave which gives a really stable feel.
Lastly the finish is just superb,this is one pretty board,definitely my best board to date.All I can say is grab one and try it you wont be disappointed.
