I have been on Starboard 9.8' extremist for 2 years now great all round board, have done fishing, flat water and a lot of waves. The board has got very flat rocker so I have to be careful not to pearl it on steep waves. I normally surf head high waves and want a new SUP that TURNS really good but I don't won't the steep to be to big either I still want to catch waves easy without fall in to much.. Thinking about Naish Hokua 9.6 but maybe to close..Hokua 9.0' too small/tippy?! Important factors is turning ability and speed, What do you guys recommend?
