whats the fin set up greeny??

From a newby point of view how difficult are these boards to ride?

Greenie, love the stoke.
As Brooko eluded to, I'm getting myself a late Xmas present.

Is that a sport tech?

I currently have a Tufskin 11 2. Is there a difference between the Tufskin and Sport Tech in performance or is it just durability?

Yes that is the Sport Tech.
The Sport Tech is lighter and could possibly mean more performance? Im no pro and wouldnt really know the difference only that the wood finish looks real nice
I also have the 11'2 and went for the Tufskin just so I didnt have to use wax on the nose. I like the nose riding soul of the 11'2 hehehe. Also my kids like to sit on the front when we go for a paddle. But for the shorter SUPs I prefer the Sport Tech because I personally wouldnt be on the nose of these boards just on the tail ripping shish up

Nice pics Greenie. If you're supping at all in the near future let me know, I'd love to have a go if thats ok?

Greenie, had a go of your 11 2" that you rave about (Ians) the other day!

I thought it went great for such a big board. I went left and right on it and was really impressed with how well it surfed. It also paddled really well, was easy to turn when catching waves probably the easiest big board to turn when paddeling I have tried yet.

On my backhand it felt nice and drivey and was great for jamming off the bottom and gliding up to hit the lip and dropping back down with the lip and pumping and weaving down the line.

I had a good look at this board back in the carpark and noticed it has the most rocker of any big board I have seen ( I personally love heaps of rocker in my surfboards and subs)and a really nice plan shape.

Over all for a big board I rate this board highly and would reccomend it to anyone, I would have one in my quiver

Hey jonathon , we had super glassy small waves here today. I am experimenting with all different fin configurations in the 9 6", today I was trying some, Adam Robdogs son , who tears the bag big time, fins out of one of his little 5 11" boards. The back fins were smaller than the front , they were pretty small fins, but they worked great, heaps of drive but really loose, great conditions to try stuff out. I didn't paddle a great distance on the 11 2" but think its a fantastic board and would love one as my big cruisey board.

Is this a new model 9'8''? Was there a 9'8'' by 30'' wide?

If you're going to get out for a sup let me know I'm keen to check it out!
