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.

Trade your 10 Whopper for the new mini Whopper [9'5''] or check out my faverite board.. The 9'5'' Mana..
