Hi mate i have an allwave 8'6 30' 130L running jackson close fins on it..im trying to find a lighter board with losing volume or length..my question is ..the new 8''3 at 32' wide..is this going to give me much more performance than what i already have? any feedback on how you find your new board be most appreciated. thanks
I've run mine with a Jackson close quad with nubster and it's great! Currently trying it out with the JC front fins and a futures solus rear hatchet fin (which I converted from futures to longboard box) , and it's really good. Super loose, and fun in the small stuff...
+1 for colas, boards with wider tails work well with a nubster in the rear alongside a quad, especially oncs the waves get a little bigger. Then take it out when its small and throw that tail around.

I've got the hokua 7'6 le which is like a mini x32 (29.5 wide). Anything over waist-chest high and I'd agree that wide tail got a bit lively- i just couldnt get on with the board in those conditions.
I added a middle box (amazingly the 7'6 doesnt have one) and have used it as a thruster when it gets bigger.... problem totally solved. Also I used it as a quad plus knubster for the first time the other day and that seems to go great.
