Most reviews seem to say that the board is fairly tippy in choppy conditions due to the narrow nose & tail & fairly low volume. DJ did a good post on a comparison/contrast between the PSH 12' gun & the Naish 11'6. Can't find the link but I am sure he will give you the link.
You can always go back to starboard....I hear that the latest version of their gun has been improved heaps 
Hi,
Yes, I have tried the 11'6 Hokua.
Depending on how much you weigh it can be a good big wave chaser, cathes waves easily and holds really well for a single fin. I weigh about 170lbs and that is about the minimum weight for the 11'6 any lighter and it starts to get a bit big to handle at high speed. Anything above 170lbs will be killer.
Another option could be the 10'8 Hokua.
I have seen Kalama get some bombs on that board here on Maui.
