Which would be best as an intermediate transition to wave riding but still cruise with the missus up and down the coast?

Thanks for any advice.

hoe much do you weigh, and what kind of surfing do you do. 2 very different style boards.

yeah noted the different styles - after reviewing my question I realise this may have been fairly obscure/naive.

I'm 78kg's and getting into surf (+4ft) more but as said before still wanna cruise on flat water every now and then.

I'm leaning towards Allwave but not sure how 'd go on it in flat stuff?

at 78 kg the 9.2 may be too big for you and 9.6 allwave will be too big for you. the 8.10 is a great board to surf but im not sure id want to use anything under 9 foot as a paddling board. the rockett paddles well and is good to surf but at 160 odd litres is still bigger than you need. Hmm i think you should try the 8.10 allwave. Its has slightly less volume than the rocket and is shorter and wider. If i weighed under 80 kg i would be on the 8.10 allwave. Take one for a paddle and see if you can live with its flat water paddling ability.

Don't know about the Coreban board at all but the short fish shaped Allwave is definitely not a paddler. I would suggest a Prowave or a Naish Hokua for what I have used.

Dont know the Allwave at all but I agree that at your weight the Coreban Rocket is too big. But it would certainly provide lots of glide for both you and the missus.
One you should look at is the new Coreban Performer.
At 9'6" its a very clever combination of width and volume through the centre with a deep cutaway tail to give it great wave riding performance once you step back into surf stance.
Exceptional board for those who are already comfortable on surf or longboards on waves but who still need, or want, paddle stability and/or flat water glide.
We have it available at KSS for demo or hire.

allwave is a great all-rounder even at your weight you would be happy with even the 9'6"

My advice would be to get the 10.0 icon - if you are a bigger guy - say over 85kg

Also if your consider the weigh of your mrs in deciding on these 2 boards

If you are smaller then go the 9.0 Fusion -


Both of these boards are great in the surf - here is some footage of the 9.0 Fusion in action

rider is 82 kg - 2 years sup experience

hope that helps
