OK, what next..I currently have a naish mana 9'5 and JP widebody 8'8 surf mostly inverloch so varying conditions and prone to chop.. Have tended to go back to the mana so often and have only used JP 5 or 6 times. Im 50, 98KG and ave skills... find the mana easy, catch plenty of waves and OK in surf..Love the JP but honestly as I only get out every 2 -3 weeks arent getting the board time yet to do it justice and miss too many waves so again favour the mana..
so thinking of maybe selling the mana and getting something such as the 9'2 speed or flow, x32 hokua. I think an 8'10 may be a bit too close the JP ??? I want something to keep improving my surf skill but not too much of a jump....any thoughts much appreciated.
ALso would love to try downwinding, anyone looking for an extra paddler this sunday at the mad paddle???
I would say .....wait until you find a sexy looking board that gets you really really excited and then buy that one. Until then stick with the current girlfriend
