G'day folks, I am chasing advice on my next board purchase. I currently have a Starboard Whopper (and a Naish Glide 29" x 14') and am chasing my next step in wave boards. I am 6'5 and 108kg and want a board to suit surf for around 4-6 foot,
I want a board that is not very long, is stable, fast, turns well and will still float me so that it is easy to get onto a wave - maybe I am chasing too many features in the one board.
The Whopper is great but at 10 foot and mouth 171 litres it is just a massive board and I want something with higher performance.
Thanks for any recommendations!!!
At 6-5 x 108 kegs you are a prime candidate for a custom , but here is a list of some production boards to look at that might suit.
JP 9-2 , 9-6 Surf
Naish check out the Mana's & wide Hokua's
Fanatic 9-4 or 9-8 All wave
Starby have a new 9-5 whopper worth looking at
Sunova 9-2 or 9-5 speed (also does customs)
I'm sure others will add to the list but this is a start.
Easy.9,6 Hokua @ 170 litre .turns sharp.Im heavy too. but love this board .It has performance to burn.![]()
Trade your 10 Whopper for the new mini Whopper [9'5''] or check out my faverite board.. The 9'5'' Mana..
