and ....for the record, and a matter of disclosure, I currently ride a SIC 14 Carbon Bullet and a PSH 9''7" AA Ripper, both amazing boards for their respective disciplines. I used to own a Starboard Whopper 10, Naish 9 Mana, Laguna Bay 9'6 and a Boardworks 9'11"Joyride. The board I liked least was the Naish, but I was too heavy for it, really. The Naish did surf well though.

could ya catch waves on that DJ

I want to get an inflatable SUP, but basically a raceboard so I can go paddling for exercise and do the odd downwinder. I don't want to be paddling along and thinking, "This is really good for an inflatable, but I wish it wasn't one."

Try that on your hardboard
