Not really David, I am still the same weight. (about 92 kg of xmas pie)
I have been riding an 8'3" x 30" for about a year now. Started off ok on glassy days to pretty painfull in the wind or chop, i could hardly even stand on it to start with. Then it seems to get easiler over time. I still fall in randomly for no reason but pretty much find my way onto waves no worries. Have even found I can ride it in onshore conditions now so its time for a new stick. I have an 8'8" x 29" pin tail that I ride in bigger stuff also. Its all relative to how hard you want to make it but its so much better surfin a smaller board. Oliver might fire up about this discussion again but its the way it is, smaller the better. Its ok to fall in....

Thanks Scotty.. btw.. I think Oliver would agree with you.

yer dogman, small board, small waves...... 4 foot or less.

i agree, at 77kg i think 8'8 is about as small as i think i'm going to go. i found smaller a bit more trouble than it was worth in the long run. pulled in tail and nose, just the right rocker,nothing i can't do on that that i can do on smaller ones.i'll just tinker around with madcap ideas

we are lucky here can usually find some one to do a byron lennox run usually see a grey suit or two though

#hey each to there own.........
I am not on here to tell others whats the go, make you own minds up.
I am full steam ahead on my wave, I stop for a small look sometimes but I push on regardless, in my own little world, you all get your own gig.....
Ride what makes you happy, good luck to you all...........even red bucket head |

At 105kg and on 9 6 and 9 9 boards ok have ridden 9 2 as well I would have thought 8 6 would have been easy at 77kg.
Rick Jackovick slays it on a 8 footer at north point cowaramup.
I think the smaller boards need to be narrow to work well like the naish 8 footer which is sub 27??? I think.
My 2 cents |

thanks scotty
rock on
and long live the bucket
cant wait to pull up a bar stool next to you some time soon

hi,played around with the sb 7'2. you can do some amazing stuff, but the ride is pretty coarse. the dc8'8 is 29", but it's thin with a very fine tail. it the best board i've had
next board will have the widest point 3" back from centre and nose outline fairly pulled in. kind of like a no nose- looks like a shortboard. the idea is you stand farther back so hoping not to need a normal nose outline for stability, you will be in a more the surfing stance area and with the reduced nose outline, it should be able to turn quicker. fingers crossed.i not really interested in a shorter wider overall outline board, but each to their own. thats the great thing about sup now - the designs shooting up everywhere
