The PSH wide ripper and the extra wide ripper are 2 different boards in regards to width obviously.

The EWR might suit you better than the WR for stability.If you can go the narrower of the 2 it would be better IMO.

Either way ,they are both great boards in the surf and you won't be dissapointed with either.

I ride the 9'2 Hull Ripper and the 8'6 WR and they are both awesome boards. The 9'3 sub vector with future controller rears and PSH quad rears goes off as well.

Ride the PSH with the PSH quad fin set up and you will love it

Give AA at Balmoral Boards a call as he know them inside out.

I had the 9'3 sub vector a while back and could not fault the durability of the board, absolutely bullet prof construction.

Try the fin set up as a quad

The comments on quad's being better for stability have got me interested. I've just started using a 9'2 wide ripper and am finding it pretty tough. $150 on fins might be money well spent.

What's the theory behind quad's being more stable than thrusters? Also, there's a lot of options available. What's everyone's preferred combination. I notice the back fins on the futures controllers & psh are pretty upright.

Thanks AA. That's what logic was telling me. Taken it out a few times since and it's really just a case of spending the time to get used to it. Feeling much better on it now. Have ordered PSH quad fins anyway so looking forward to giving them a go. I think my weight of 85kgs isn't too much for the board.

hi guys, i currently ride a 10'6 casurina ,weight approx 23kg , 29 wide and im wanting to ride waves from 3 to 8 ft range , i am 96kg 6'1 any suggestions would be appreciated as iam in two minds to go shorter say 9'5 or 10' but most def lighter then current board
