I have been into stand up paddle for a couple months,i started with a atx 11 which was great to get started.I have been looking around for a much smaller board and tried out a psh 8.6 then a psh 9.2 ,great looking boards,i think i could maybe have gone with the 9.2 which i caught some ripping waves on but fell off quite a bit .I read the review by Thomo on the jimmy lewis 9.9 comparison with the converse 9.0,after reading the review i thought the Converse ticked all the boxes for me, really stable,light weight , quite short so i bought the Converse. I have been out for 3 surfs in the nice swell coming through Sydney and i am rapped .
Thanks Thomo
