I've been SUPing for a few years on a 12'1 Laird that can do everything from surfing to fishing and downwinding alright but nothing great. So I'm keen to get myself on a Surf specific SUP. I've whittled the options down to the PSH 9'3 or 9'6wide rippers.
I change my mind on a daily basis on which one to get. I've demo'd em a while ago, but just can't comitt.
Can anyone offer up anything to help me make up my mind??
Oh and I'm hovering just over 90kgs at the moment and tooking at ridding it in beachies and upto say 4-6ft reefs and bombies...
I'm 92kgs and 5'11 and had the 9'6 Wide Ripper and loved it.
I downsized to the 8'9 WR and the shape is pretty similar only shorter.
I surfed it in Bali last year at 6 ft Ulluwatu and the board went insane.
The 9'2 WR is a very nice option also to consider.That would be my choice for you as it still has that extra length and glide and is still fairly short.
These boards surf unreal so demo if you can.
Talk to Andrew Allen (AA) he might know how to help you out.

Thanks for the input guys, You've just given me the nudge in the 9'3 direction that I needed. Decision made... I think...?!![]()
Thanx Gregos,
Ive seen that fin converter set-up and will definately give it a go with the larger Sunny's. We nearly always have some sort of wind over here in WA. So I'm thinkin its a bit of a case of biting off more than you can chew with the 9'3, and then just chew like h ell.
Who knows all that wobbling about and I might start hovering closer to 80 than 90 anyways. ![]()
Well my Minister of Finance has approved the purchase(
) so I'll be able to give you a run down of how I went in acouple of weeks.
