Hokua x32 LE are finally available, here in Southern Calif. at clearance prices (around $1650..).
I'm 5'10" 82kegs, intermediate surfer, comfortable in moderate to heavy chop on my Mana 8-10. Catching a lot of small to medium sized mushy shorebreak, sometimes crisp waves .
Am wanting to go to the next level, but still have stability in the chop.
Should I go with the 8'8" or the 9'1".

Any advice from you guys downunder would be appreciated....
