Hi All has anyone around the 85kg mark tried a 8'6" x 30" wide ripper if so whats tour opinion! I have not tried one but have been on a 9'2" wide ripper so far I like it but have only been in 3' waves.

Hi ColD
I am 6" and about 82kgs I have had the chance to ride the 8'6 wide ripper a bit 1 to 4 foot, smooth and glassy to messy and onshore.
Its super stable for an 8'6 and as long as you have had a little bit of paddling experence you should have no troubles. It paddles on to a wave very easy for an 8'6 then excellerates very quickly, turns very nice and tight in the pocket ( you do need to be right at the back as Rich said in his reply) the 30" of width also help carry the board across the flat part of the wave well.
If you can get hold of one I am shore you will not be disapointed (they normally sell out of this board very quickly)
The PSH quads go very nicely on this board!!
There are guys up to 95+kg riding this board
Hope this helps Rod
