Yup I've had a little experience...............................I've owned them all
And yes you will grow out of the 10'8 in an nanosecond I am now 50 was 48 & 115 kgs and had no surfing background and was ready to move it in 9 months. it was awesome super stable and great to surf.
So I went to the 10'2 for about 6 months, it was awesome and took things to the next level.....you might consider this. i was 49 and 110 kgs.
Now I have the 9'8 and am 50 and 105 kgs. I got the pro model and seriously...................its above awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surfs really well from the tail or the middle, I just can't nose ride it
The 9'8 isn't so good on flat water tho. The 10'2 is better.
If you were willing to be patient I would look to the 9'8 you will hang onto this for a while and you should go the pro model so so much better than the wood.
I am not sponsored by JP (or anyone else for that matter) but seriously think they should just for Fusion love
