Just picked up my 9'5"WP in wood, it won't get wet till i get to merimbula.
I put it on the scales came in at 10.7kg's a bit lighter than the silver
not sure how accurate my scales are.

Mate, if u dont mind me asking - what do you weigh ? I have some mates hanging for reviews on this board. Im sure they'd be stoked if you would post your thoughts after you have ridden it.

I'm 6'2" 100kg's

I have had a chance to demo the 9"5WP (Thanks ROD)

The conditions were less than ideal. at 1-2ft of surf with a slight onshore chop.

I am 6ft tall and 90kg.

Let me start by saying I have tried the previous wide points and have been impressed by there stability. But not there surfability. They would not bury a rail and wanted to be surfed fairly flat.

This new 9"5 however is a different animal. It has stability equal to or exceeding my old Starboard drive. Not bad for a board a foot shorter. The real surprise was that even in these conditions the board wanted to turn and be surfed. I will be chasing Rod to try and have a go in some better conditions. But I am sure this board will be fun in any conditions and for a wide range of people.

Ordered one counting the days till it arrives. Clearing out the shed to make room.

My new 8'10" widepoint AST silver just got delivered. Havn't been home to see it yet.

got my carbon version the day after merimbula what a hoot, fits perfectly between the whopper and 8 10 wide point, goes super fast and rips it up, swell please huey!

I've got 2 x 9'5" 32" WP in wood and a 9'0" x 30" hero in wood arriving next week along with a few larger boards. Can't wait to give them a go. If you're in my area (Broulee, NSW) and would like a demo PM me. Will post a review comparing them when I get a couple good sessions on both boards.
