Hi Zeusman, I am the same weight and height as you I demoed the 9'5” Hokua and the 9'5”WP back to back before going with the WP as my one board quiver but the Hokua is a very nice board, the main reason I went with the WP is stability I am a weekend only paddler and so I would rather spend the time having fun with what waves where on offer than trying just to keep my balance and falling off trying to catch waves.
IMO the Hokua is faster onto the wave and it surfs really well, but with the flatter nose rocker it tended to nose dive very easy if you weren't quick enough on getting back
But you won't be disappointed if you have the time and more ability than me.

Yes they are a very nice looking board, an turn so well with 100kg pushing on the rail.
ESS Board Store Erina Had a demo, I don't know if they still have it, a bit of a drive for you.

Mate they say hte 9'5" Hokua for those who only want one board . They got that right , it paddles fast surfs realy well as a qwad stable 100kg no problem . Sell the others it's all you need .

Im 6ft 88kg and I absolutly love mine. It rips. Id buy another in a heartbeat
