Hi Guys,
I,m 90kg and sup mainly in Holland in crappy slow windgenerated short period (5sec) confused and choppy short rides cold beachbreak with a strong current waves

Because of this we try to escape a 6weeks a year to proper waves in the UK and France at the Atlantic Ocean.

For Holland I got a Starboard Widepoint.810 and a Drive wich do fine but in faster and bigger waves the Starboard is just too fat, wide and slow.
I tried it at Fuerteventura on the bigger waves of outerreefs and it starts to bounche and is hard to turn.
After damaging my board I rented a Hokua8.5, and with 115l that was just a fraction too small for my skills.
I changed it the next day to the 9.3 with 10l more and 1inch wider and felt from the first second at home on the board.
It did everything I wanted: sharp and precise turns, heaps of control and the better the wave the better the board became making me feel like Robby himself.

I keep the WP because its a great board for my homespots but wanna buy a board alike the Hokua 9.3 for the holidays. A little smaller is okay, but because the 8.5 was just too small its seem to be a thin line between perfect and too small.

Because sup isnt big in Europe as in Australia or the US its very hard to see and demo stuff. I have no change to test boards like that in proper waves before buying, so thats where your expertise comes in: :)

What is the difference in stability, float and performance in clean shoulderhigh till serious big between the Hokua 9.3 and 9.0??
I,m really looking for something that handles the waves where my WP stops and need advice.

I,m also looking to the PSH Wideripper9.2 wich I can demo in Holland but due the very positive experience with the Hokua9.3 and Naish delivers a very complete package with bag and pad it has a slight advantage.

Any other bigger clean waveboards you can recommend from the bigger brands?
Hope you can help with some insight and proper advice
Cheers Jeroen
