I've been looking at this board really hard and thinking of buying it as I want to drop own in size from my 9-10 plus my kids are really starting to get into it I need a second board (good excuse).
The board is 27.5 x 4-1'4 quad and I'm 6ft and 88kg I think I'm a bit big for it , but I would use the board mainly on good days , I just love the lines of it but I also like the C4 9-3 Sub Vector & the Naish 9-3.
I read some great revies on the C4 , Naish & PSH 9-3's has anyone read a review or ridden the 9-1 Ron House ?

Piros,
Are you a longboard style sup surfer or are you looking to ride this more like a shortboard? If the answer is shortboard, I think this board will be too long and too narrow for your weight. Things are changing quickly for shortboard sup. The most recent design is the starboard 8'5" pocket rocket. I am 92kg and rode it over the weekend no problems, and this board rips and is the best shortboard sup I have ridden yet. If you want a short baord, 9'1" is too long.
Regards,
Scotty
Hey Piros - no, but looking at the plan shapes they are very different boards to the House-
Naish 9'3. - 9'3" x 29 1/2" x 4 1/4"
PSH 9'3' Ripper

Hey Piros, how is it mate? Personally I love the look of this board and think It would rip, I reckon its the type of board you would be looking to get barreled on, looks real gunny just my 2c. I thought you had a 9 3" ripper? because both this and the 9 3 " naish look awesome, and either on of these would be perfect also, still friggen onshore here so yet to try my 8 6".
Thanks boys,
I'm keeping my 9-10 so this will be a good weather board , the more I sup the more I'm surfing bigger and sucker waves , the good thing about this board that is it is here in stock and I can lay it over my 9-10 , it has more nose an tail lift and it does'nt look 9 inches shorter if that makes sense.
What I'm after is a charger but also a board I can throw around alot more , I did have a PSH 9-2 but not anymore so I'm still looking.
Why did you get rid off the 9 2" ?
The board just wasn't me and I'm really used to quad set up , the board was fast and easy to turn but I was always unsettled on it , I did have my moments on it but not enough to keep it plus it was really easy to sell , I could have sold it 3 times.
I to have looked at this board Piros is talking about, from a shaping background (surfboards) IMHO,this board would rip for the bigger guy!
The photos don't do this thing justice!

Mac at 9-1 x 27.5 x 4-1/4 it's not a big guys board , maybe expert big guy, you're right about the bottom photo it looks like and old single fin.
I've stuck my neck out a bought the 9-1 , This will be my 3 third Ron House board 10-3>9-10>9-1 I know it will rip , it's just the paddling thing that might slow me down , but really it will be the kids board I'm about to start distance training again on the new 12-6 so hopefully I can shed a couple more kilos to make it a bit easier on the 9-1.
