Hi Guy's Anyone ridden these boards ? A lot on the Nalu but like some feedback on the JL. Currently riding a JL 8'11" striker & want a little more glide for those small or flat days.
Love my 10'6" nalu. Set up with Shaper S9 sides and S7 centre i've had so much fun on that board, even played with it as a twin. It is my fallback on those "where the f is the swell" days....
I owned a 10.8 Hanalei before the 10.6 Nalu. I loved it. Found it a little unstable in the chop and probably didnt appreciate it's ability at the time I had it - my skill level has improved since than. It was great on a wave. I now have the Nalu 10.6 and like Brenno run the Shaper Fins - so much looser & quicker. I've often thought about going back to the Hanalei. JL make great boards its just hard to get a demo and not many people have them, particularly the Hanalei.
