Hi all Got a Coreban Fusion 9' this week its stable and rips. Ive tried them out over the last few months and other boards around 9' But I settled for this off the shelf board. Its wave riding is great but best of all sitting in a bit of chop or side slop from a rip you dont get worn out trying to stay on the board. If your looking for a board around this size I recommend try many but try one of these. Iam 84.5 kgs 6'1" give or take. Ive been paddling for a while now, and my other boards are now gonna collect a little dust.
My first SUP was a Coreban Rockett 10'6" but I wanted a shorter board for surfing - I am 5'7" and 92 kgs.
First impressions of the Fusion - it is surprisingly stable and floats me easily. Catching waves is easy and once you get it on a wave, WOW it is really loose and brilliant to ride. To date I have only ridden it in 1-3 foot waves (with 3 fins) but I can't wait to get it out in some bigger surf.
The most surprising thing is when paddling out and confronted with whitewater, the Fusion just pops up over it without even really having to lean back and pick the nose up.
Very happy with my Fusion and having heaps of fun!!
