After a thruster but unsure on what size to get?
Have had boards in the past no bigger than 6'3 or smaller than 6' that was used in all conditions.
Currently riding a 6' twin fish but it turns into a handful once the waves get hollow and over head high.
Wanting something fast, snappy and can handle big surf but not a board that is 6'6 or a 6'8 gun.
Weigh 65-70kgs and height 5'10.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I ride a 6'5 on hollow days and weigh 100kg so I would go any bigger than a 6'3 or 6'4 for ya. Depend on how big the surf is. Just have to get the right shape for hollow days.
I've got a fish too and it does get very loose in barrels.
ever tried a rounded pin 6'1 - 6'3 ish? holds the line tight in the pocket , excellent pigdoging boards. not to good in fatter waves,(bogging rails), but good release when arranging different size rear fin.
i do have 1 here for you but,after all that SUPing you will not be abal to handle the speed and fast turning
so a lot of wipeouts will be commig your way ha ha ha
SOunds like your lookin for a 6'2 or 6'3 by 18.25 ish. low to med rails. Definatly go for the rounded pin mate. I started on em a few years ago and loved it. You should find that the pin will hold the rail in the pocket then will let you draw your turns out a little longer when your out on the face . If you have a look at Kelly's boards , 70 % of em are rounded pins. BOL
Shweet ok Im after a rounded pin 6'3
Anyone got one?
What is the one you got Spotty?
Oh and btw did anyone get a surf in today?
I DID! But there were no waves!
SUPed my little wave this arvo. Not even Point Packed was breaking. Not a single surfer anywhere from Trigg to Hillarys. Just me
Oh and Kitersi paddled out for a couple just on sunset
He told me that he and Hawkie had Toms all to themselves first thing this morning
Where was everyone? Oh thats right... no one SUPs here in Perth... GOOD! More waves for me
they are sq tails
the boy had some waist to chest set waves at trigg about 10am
think he pu about 10 or 12 waves in 45 mins
when you are only 5 3/4 old trigg is great
Sounds like your boy is ripping.
What is he riding?
My 5yr daughter is not keen to surf but my 3yr son is keen
