have they landed in australia yet , any one frothing on them, where in west oz do we get them , whats the best for 80 ish kg,for 2 -4ft beachies and reef breaks.
Bit tippier than flat bottom so going for a 9 6 wide hopefully next week
9 2 wide for you I feel. More info soon
A 9'2 Hull Ripper also landed in Holland ;o)
and I had the opportunity to quickly do some runs. No extensive review yet but to me (90 kg) the 9'2 Hull Ripper Wide (9'2 x 30 3/4) is about as stable as the PSH 9'2 Wide Ripper. Tested in not to choppy conditions. Maybe even a little bit more stable.
Volume is about the same maybe a little bit higher as the 9'2 Ripper.
More testing will be done but boy this is an interesting shape. Very responsive and silky smooth rail to rail transitions.
(For the record: I'm agent in Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg for Paddle Surf Hawaii, Kialoa and Hobie SUP.)
9'2' sounnds good, am after a board with more drive and a looser feel than the 9'1 jl kwad, with better glide and similar stability ,if thats possible ,hilly i think you chasing the same,quad or thruster option will be a bonus... bring it on
I am in the same boat so to speak. I currently ride a 9ft Angulo which is great but want something more like a short board feel. I haven't any of the PSH boards but all reviews seem to be quite positive. I am trying to compare the 9ft Angulo to the 9'2' PSH wide Ripper. Any ideas.................
A beautiful thing to behold
9'6 x 30 1/2 x 4 3/8" Hull Ripper, Red (quicker apparently)
Lets see how it surfs!!
Radman, 4+1 Futures, Thruster/Quad option.
Comes with Thruster fin set and grip.
Grip comes separate so customers can customise their grip.
Looks very Nice AA,
I am keen to try the 9'6" as a step down to a shorter board from the 10'11 wide ripper I currently ride....
Hope some one has one to demo over here in the west soon
Red is definitely faster. Please report on the 9'6"s performance/stability for a 185 cm 95 kg to 100 kg comparitively advanced surfer. The 8'10" Allwave and 8'10" Widepoint are my other options at the moment, so a comparison against them, if possible would be really useful.
g'day AA,
Do you have any to demo? I'm interested in the 9'2 hull wide ripper....coming down from the awesome psh 10'6 WAA (a great board) that I learnt on. The new PSH models look fantastic, I'm sure they surf well too. Cheers.

AA, I'm planning on being in the remake of "Point Break"(20 ft plus) LOL. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'll have to demo them all. Stabilty is the key issue for my buggered back. The 10'2" PSH Hull paddler is almost too stable yet extremely manoueverable. I'm not fussed really but boy is it fun talking about it and then trying!!!
doho i was hopin travel down sundy pic up mondy,hav a paddle wiv you lads and back to work, f-16 is meant to leave today from bris today to but havnt heard from supplier ,seems to be taking far to long to get here,all paid up but no deliver, could be alaw suit happenen
So it's 9'1" pro for radman and the 9'6" for hilly hey........jealous.
I'm keen for some feedback from both of you but was thinking somewhere in between i.e. 9'2".
Things could change before then Beno but might be a chance of a river DW on Sunday or even a kite, if all else fails I'm sure it will be good weather for an ale or two.
AA, the US distributor website is saying to go 3 inches longer than you normally ride. I've also been told 6 inches longer. What have you heard?
Any inside scoop if they will be making them shorter than 8'9?
