that looks niccce. now put it on a bbq and take the pics am wanting to know more about the 12'6 that you had posted elsewhere as well

Finish from new factory looks really good Weight better too??

I mean aa

Not sure Lacey, need to look at that one. Weight is goood! Bigman, these new HR's are 'refined' all round and you need to think differently in terms of sizing. The 86WR is a very stable board for its length. The 92Hull Ripper would be closer in stability and would out surf it in the steep stuff for sure. Rail to rail you cant beat the Hull. We have one out at the moment with a customer who has ridden a few of our boards so I will get some feedback.

Thats the board Krakatoa! On its way!

Hey Rodders I rode this board this morning in fat 2-3' waves. It is 9'7 x 29 3/4" x 4 3/8" 128L The Gen 2 Hull Rippers are slightly narrower with no real loss of stability (still trying to work that one out)! Very squirty and a lot more predictable, I was immediately comfortable on this board when I reminded myself to widen my stance and get back on the tail. I will have this and the 12-6 at the Snowy Comp at Manly this weekend for for demo.

Nothing BigMC. Different strokes, different folks. They probably take a bit more getting used to than most boards. For those who have bonded, they love them. Especially if you are progressing and want a board that surfs shorter than its length. The new versions are very fine in the rails, nose and tail and are more suited to high performance vertical surfing. The first generation have more glide and suit open faces. Everyone is different and I can explain the differences when you swing by.
