I just demoed the 8'10 and 9'3.

There isn't as much difference in stability between the two as there should be, given the large difference in size. That is because the 8'10 is the newer design. The 8'10 is single concave, like most of the newer models. The 9'3 has vee running the Full length.

The 8'10 is a must have model. It just rocks. If they update the 9'3, it would also be a must have shape, but for now, it's one I liked.

I'm ordering the 8'10 and still thinking on the 9'3.

I'm 84kg. The 8'10 is maxed out at my weight.

I agree the 8'10 for sure will be a great next step for you. The 8'0 might be just a bit to big a jump.

I am 75 kg and ride the 8'0 but i have also progressed down through board sizes to get there. 8'10 would be the perfect board for your next step.

the 8'10 is siiiiiiickkkkkk!!!! super stable for a board that size. i used to ride an oxbow ages ago and found the naish boards way more stable.
