whats the best all round sub 9 foot surf sup- stability and all round surfing prowess.

hawkers, peddlers and pimps views welcomed

Been riding so many different boards lately and in the impact zone when you pull your board back , some boards are always right way up and others are always rolled over.Which means you have to flip the board over to get back on costing you valuable seconds to get through the next wave.

Is it tail shape or plug placement , there was no consistancy some boards just tend to pop right way up. Some boards would toom stone and come back right way up others just rolled over on the first tug of the leg rope.

Made me think that maybe a raised glass roving instead of a plug would help keep the board right way up.........?

Picked up my new 8-11 PSH Ripper yesterday gripped her up and with the curse of the ENE'ers smashing the Gold Coast over the last few weeks , I threw the kids in the car and bolted to Byron Bay to hit the Pass the only place that can deal with this wind.Gave the kids 50 bucks and dropped them off at the markets and said I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Not expecting much surf I decided to run the FCS 3D as a centre for an experiment. The Pass was a solid 3 to 4 foot with the ENE sea sickness all over it. It was partially protected from the wind with a spa bath rip gushing around the point , it was lumpy fast and fat but the best waves I've seen in a while.First wave was 150m ride in the soup and was pretty amazed how the 3D centre held the board keeping it in solid dropping down the face and in the cut backs,no bucket chucking due to wave shape (but probably due to lack of ability) don't really understand the theory on the 3D but it seems to work on a SUP.

Interested to hear if anyone else has used it on a SUP.
