Hi folks Just wondering about further feedback on the 9.0? Have the 9'5 and really enjoying it a lot-it surfs surpisingly well .I intend to keep it. Looking for something a little more surf orientated,in particular less board to manage on a wave etc, but still able to manage the occasional flat water paddle with my wife if she is on the 9'5. Considered the hokua but I dont think I need to be that shortboard orientated(will just surf). My questions are really: 1.Is it 'different' enough to the 9'5 in the surf to be a good second option for better surf? 2.Would it be OK for the odd paddle in flat water with my wife? I like the naish ranges for there finish,covers,resale etc BTW I'm 70 kgs. Thanks for any input Rod
I have the 9.5 and have paddled both the 9 mana and hokua. The 9 mana is a sweet board and will be fine for flat water and hanging out back. The hokua is also a sweet board but gets a bit tiring after a few hours in choppy conditions.
