Have a smaller wave that breaks reasonably often that cries out for a 12ft board. Is the venom the best option or are there more. Cheers
Either the 11-6 Hypr Hawaii gun or the 12-6 Gun.
The 11-6 is super-surfable and fast waaaay beyond it's size, and the 12-6 is for those who like plenty of stability with their speed.
Both are FAR more stable than you'd think from their widths, and very strong and well-made. You can't compare their construction with the offerings from eg. the Cobra factory in Thailand. There is simply no comparison.
I own the 10-6, 11-6 and 12-6 guns, and I have a 14ft version coming in a few days.
I surf all these at an offshore sandbank bombie about a mile out to sea. They are insane.
Thanks Rick for cheering up another Monday morning at work for me.
Area 10, are you importing the Hypr's yourself or do you have an agent over there?
What are the other dimensions for each model?
Broadman, I've also surfed a couple of Nozza's 12' PSH Guns.
They are surprisingly good in a small swell.
But heavy.
I don't like surfing them in a crowded break - anyone that get's hit will stay hit.
Find an old PSH 12 ft gun.
Solid board for big or small waves.
Pretty sure there was never a 12'6 PSH surfing board made.
Oh, and before anyone thinks that these boards are too narrow and low volume for their weight, check this guy out on a 9-6 Hypr gun. They are crazy stable for their width so you can go much narrower than you think.
This is one of my favourite SUP surf videos...
I have a starboard blend which is from memory an 11.2. It's fantastic in small choppy waves as well as bigger ones and you can even nose ride it. works even better when put a big longboard fin it as well.
