what about the jimmy 10'2 just that bit bigger than the 9'9 and that way you can have one board for all

After all that... I bought a 10' Whopper in Blue Touch, unbelievable, I'm totally stoked on it, wave after wave after wave at the beachie down the road from mine. I'm looking forward to getting it down south in some size.

There's quite a lot been said in recent threads about narrow noses and all that, I just think we all need to think about what has happened to surfing over the last 10 years or so. Everyone madly frothing at the mouth, hassling, competing, even at their local.

Admittedly higher performance is the inevitable outcome of the competitive nature, but we aren't all going vertical or doing airs.

I dunno, I just think it's alright for everyone to be stoked at their own level without feeling like they should be trying to be world champion.

Big waves, big turns, maybe a barrel here and there (if I get lucky) that's what it's all about for me.

Stoked, absolutely stoked....

Hilly posted that he could ride the 9'9" easy at 105kg so I took a punt, maybe it's my skill level. I dunno, but the 9'9" is definately too tippy for me.

Give it some time, I used to think a 10 8 X 29.5 was tippy
