I see that the new 9'5" has quite a bit less volume than the previous Manas. I know it's an inch wider, but that is definitely not going to make up for that much reduction in floatation.
I'm 210 pounds and according to the Naish website, that is their maximum suggested weight for that model. I've sup'd 120 liter boards before. So I know I can handle 163 liters of volume, but that 190 liters was pretty nice when I tried out the older Manas.
Anyone tried both and can tell me the differences? Thanks!
