Wanting a board to get fit on and if I have any potential to possibly do a few races.
At present I am 80kg and riding a SB 9.1 x 29 for the surf after moving from a simon anderson 11 x 30. I am no expert and feel I should go for something around 29 - 30 wide. At present considering the SB, Deep ocean and the fanatic. Are there any others I should look at....thanks |

| You'd be right about the weight limit to comfortably ride the 27.5" and 28" wide boards from Fanatic, Starboard and Naish. You should definitely give them a try. |

Demo demo demo!!!
Plenty of options out there, both overseas production and locally made, that will be competitive with each other in a wide range of conditions. But different people will prefer the feel of different boards and it's most important to be comfortable on what you are riding.
Starboard, DC, Fanatic, Naish, Lahui Kai, JM/Surftech JM, Deep & C4 all have proven race results in the last 12 months (albeit the engine is much more important than the board) and are readily available in Australia. |
