Hi ,I have a 10 ' mana great cruising with kids also fun in surf but ready to get a board i can throw around on the waves ,something stable but loose in waves any sugestions will be greatly apreciated cheers. i weigh 82 kgs.calbs
If your happy with the Naish, try the 9' hokua or as suggested by the masses demo the multitude of other boards on offer.
Calbs the most popular boards we sell for guys coming of the Mana are the PSH Wide Rippers, in particular the 9'11 x 31' and the 10'6 x 32"
Very stable for their size and yes, they surf!
At your weight the 9'11 sounds would be a good choice
cheers for advice do like naish but will give psh a try before decide cheers.calbs.
Calbs the Naish Hokua's are great boards. I like the 9'5 myself! It is worth paddling a few to check stability.
make sure you check out the Jimmy Lewis Kwad, the 9'7x32" would be perfect to come off the mana, or 9'1x30" would also be a good choice
Keep in mind the correct board in volume and width plus rocker design to make the best for your progression.
I have been SUPping for 12 months and moved from boards with too much volume so corky and less stable to what is now working for me.
6 Months ago I found the Jimmy lewis 9' 1" Kwad x 130 L volume was excellent for my 76kg however quickly moved to the 8' 7" Kwad x 115 l tippy for a while but soon excellent and perfect for me on waves.
Now the 9' 1" JL Kwad seems big.
I have a 9' hokua and owned a 9'11'' psh wide ripper prior to the naish. I wish i had kept the psh as it was a fun board, nice and stable and surfed great for my crap standard. It has taken me a few months to find my legs on the 9' hokua but its way nicer in the waves once you get dialed in.
