Not quite but I remember I was shocked as in I was thinking he was way heavier than he mentioned.115 or 120 and I was blown away he was riding a 908 x 22 3/4 x 3 or something very close.

Big tall bugger and not a shinny weed.

He has a nice relaxed style but for a 20 foot man oh my he is talented,one thing I've found is don't be scared to rock up and have a chat with the locals,it all changes the vibe and they really do let you have a few once the ice is broken.

It's open to discussion any suggestions?

I have a few that have been in it,
I had a hatchet that I broke, it was about 10 inch.
Currently it has a10 inch fluid foils fat boy fin in it,this is actually the fin the guy gave me when I bought it, it seems to work with the area down low but needs more I think.

I also have a 12 inch takayama copy dolphin type fin that I used for a while.

But that's why I asked what it was, just looked kinda like a similar tail.

And the reason for no fin in the pic was I have to take it out to get in my car

Sorry to hear you had back surgery, hope you heal quickly.

I think the 10 inch hatchet is the fin for that board. Or one of these

Yeah the.back is going alright and should be surfing in a few months. I spoke to Rabbidge today about big boards after looking at Big spazzs board on another thread he said no dramas. Riding these in small waves would be a good way to get back into it. Jumping to my feet quick will be the test.
Here's a log fin

smh,if you get a real big board you will be able to paddle in early and get to your feet slowly which will sure help your back imo,I'll give you six months max after this and you'll be be smashed the house down again[}:)]

I really think a big wide as board is the way to go.

I been thinking that as well Mac. I live near a beach with a very gently sloping bottom and a south swell magnate. When it's small it peels nicely and there's usually banks and its a 50 meter walk to your car so an 11 footer would be ideal.I have a 10 and might get an 11 I'm around 95 kilos or a touch more .
