Hey gang
Has anybody out there ridden both? I currently keep a 11'4 Nalu as a big fun longboard & also like to ride it when the surf gets a bit bigger. I find its pretty loose for such alot of board & also noserides great. Been looking at the 12' PSH as an alternative lately but can't find any recent reviews(they all seem to be from 2009-2010) & would like to know how they compare. I understand one is a longboard shape & the other a big wave gun, however i reckon they'd have some similarities in the way they surf.
Cheers
I've paddled both a fair bit.. IMO the 11'4" is the better board because I find the gun very flat and hard to turn unless you get back on the tail.. But I have friends with it and they love it.. Here's a past post about it.. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/The-real-Gun/

You milking the cows Robdog? The PSH 12 ftr is the go. Sorry DJ, have a look at what these boys regularly surf. Phill Paige swears by his, paddles well enough to get out to the 13th bombies, surf and then come back in. He is ripping that left apart!!!
Yeah I check these vids out last night before I started this thread. Very nice fun looking waves! Makes me want one of these beasts even more!!! Looks to be plenty loose & paddle like a dream & thats pretty much what I'm after.
Just not sure if I want to sell my Nalu in order to get one. Need opinions from the community folks!!
So what do you all reckon?
Hey Robdog
Love your vids of Portland, bridgie way. And the Feeze rips on any sized board. Keep them coming.
Cheers
I have the PSH 12,6 hull paddler hybrid ripper model , and its an awesome board.A bit heavy but can surf it in almost anything
I really enjoyed the videos as well. Great surfing on the big boards.
I noticed one thing about the red board. He only surfs the back half of the board. If you watch for it, the nose half never touches the water during an entire wave after takeoff.
I am curious how the added length comes into play. Is the appeal just for paddling out and easier takeoffs?
Don't get me wrong... I like seeing these boards used so well... just interested in your take on the benefits of length

"Hi there robdogger! He answered his own question :) paddling and ease of catching waves. The turns do feel gr8 though!" Feezy
Well gang, looks like I found one. What size fin do you guys use when riding as a single? & what sort of thruster/quad set?
Good comment Colas.
Thanx Robdog
Looks like you've got your center fin a fair way back in the box too!? You ever ride it as a single?
