Only ridden kwad deffinantly be the picked of the 2 the all wave is a bit of a tub where the jl is more refined at 75 kg may as well go the 8"7. Kwad need to be surfed off the tail

At 110kg I can ride the 8 7 so have to agree. Had the 9 1 for a year fantastic in up to head high waves, bit more technical after that due to the width of the tail.

The 9'2" Allwave is more suited to "big boned" beer drinkers that can apply a lot weight to their back foot to turn and even then they are very corky. I would suggest speaking to a local shaper, finding out the price of a custom, and if necessary using the Allwave as a template, create a thinner, harder railed board. If you really want a production board then at your weight you want to go sub nine. It depends on your surfing ability and your patience. I haven't ridden a Kwad but Hilly gave them a big wrap as do many of the people that ride them. I still think sub nine is the go

For the 9ft 2 you seem very much on light side already so reckon going down in volume is not going to be a bad thing. A lot depends on your ability and where you surf (sort of waves etc).

A lower volume SUP will help you move around more (slash and burn) but you'll lose out a bit on wave count and stability maybe.

mmmm... depends what waves ur on... 8'6 allwave? same volume as the kwad which is pretty tippy?
