Goatman likes mine he chosen to pay for them still even though he has been offered free boards of at least 2 other big brands that kinda says a bit i feel.
oh my last one is 5.6kg
and as i said pros make anything work. but i have a choice- read above TB tb. i 'm after peoples opinions on the " best " ordinary board around, not the most ordinary board around. i'm not interested in how good someone is, just made a point about pro's can ride anything, but they will go for the best board, even dave would ride the best board for him in the starboard range-don't think you would you see him out on a whopper
Surely you've learnt something from the many boards that you've had to have a pretty good idea what you want. Or is deciding what you want the hard part??
yeah deciding is the hard part.
Come on Lacey make your bloody mind up mate Your starting to sound like that BP

It could possibly be the 8.10 sitting on my lounge room floor at the moment ? You better come grab it next week and test it out for yourself. As you know I am no fan of sub 9 sups but I gotta tell ya, this one is something I could very much grow to like.
I am in no way qualified to comment as I have only spent maybe 1 hour total on any current production board....but...
I really like the look of the new 8' Naish, I rekon it would rip!
Also the regular Ripper (not wide), 8'9" I think looked the goods.
Otherwise go custom but the production boards are getting soooo good!
Demo an 8 7 JL Kwad if you can; at 105kg I can ride the 9 1 easy it surfs unreal.
Hi Lacey,
I've seen you out at Greenie last Easter on a light blue DC (at least I think it was you). Not sure what size it was but it seemed to work very well for you (I thought you were absolutely rippin). If I could surf a board like that, I'd be hanging on to it and surfing every chance I got. If I didn't have it anymore, I'd be getting another one exactly the same. What was it's dimensions?
My 2 cents.
Cheers
. 8'8 by 29'(maybe a bit under), 6" tail. this board was the one we did some surgery on and thinned out rails from the last 1/4 back. i had that board for year. mind you, they were some of the best waves i've every surfed a sup on- it was soooooooooooooo good.
but I was looking at that secert spot up north one of the points even has your name.have a look at Coatalwatch and you too will cry like a babyUnfortunately i couldnt pull out , rode it out and looked out back and thought **** im not gunna make it out again.So i pulled up stumps , wish i had my old PSH 10'6 that thing was made for those waves , you def need a bit of paddle speed and some extra weight for the big fat bumpy ones.I know suppers get a bad rap but some of those tow in crew have no idea.

So far, definitely the Psh 8'9 Ripper (8’9” x 28 ¼” x 4 1/16”). Perfect blended rocker and outline for its size, paddles well and and more importantly surfs like a short board, fast, loves the pocket,vertical and never loses its speed through turns. Transition from rail to rail is pretty instant without that delayed feeling that I hate. Only surfed it as a thruster, but waiting on a set of quad fins to give that a go! Amazingly, this board will catch ankle high dribble to 6'+ bombs and it just wants to go,the more stick you give it the more it gives back, forget it if you just want to cruz. I have surfed on various Starboards, Naish and other Psh models boards, but the 8'9 is the shizzle for me to date.
lazza you have me thinking about that psh 8'9 great review.my next surf sup i was thinking a custom from one of the local guys , but i do like psh boards.
9'0 Mana, probably the most magical in the Naish line-up.
9'3 Hokua, could have been better.
8'10 Hokua, good, but not magic.
8'4 Hokua, better, not still not a must own.
9'2 PSH WR nothing special, a bit stiff.
8'6 PSH WR, the most magic of the rippers I've surfed.
8'0 PSH WR, good, but not magic.
7'8 Hokua, pretty hot so far, still new to me.
The 9'0 Mana does everything so well, I'm probably going to buy a second one so I don't have to share with the wife. I don't know anyone who wasn't in love with it on the first try, from women, to men, regardless of the brand they personally own.

i am a brand spanking new at sup but have shortboarded for a long time. bought my son a mc ,he is 11 just to flat water and for me to surf. i think you will find it less than 30 as well. i found the mc to be a little tippy for me, my board much bigger but with a bit of foot adjustment and speed found it really stable. on the wave, well super quick and went into every gouge with a bigger smile. the surf was 2 ft and messy, i was way to quick for the sections. had demo on merrick on flat was heaps more stable yet the shape seems more fun than performance to me.
