Are these the same board just different yrs?

I was looking at the pro 9x29 but dont think it will work here, where the converse will being a better all rounder.

I didi not like starboard but every time i ride one i just love them, dam it now i just have to get one

Im thinking a converse or stinger as a everyday go to board and a pulled in nose short board for the clean days.

I think im on the right track, For summer here side chop wind and all that good crap

Or was thinking a mctavish 9'6 as a one board solution for all conditions?

Oh

Hilly i do have a board, mctavish 9'0 i thought it would be a bitch but it is almost the same as being on the 9'6 mctavish

Was out 3 hours today onshore chop crap but the good odd 1 to 2 ft here and there

Stability was good considering the conditions, Might be a keeper as that would be the worst conditions i would go in.

But gezzz how bad is that grip, any ideas to make it not slip so much

I reckon go the 9'1" x 29" Starboard as a do everything board. It has really good paddling speed, is loose and fast on the wave, works great in small and big surf. With the 29 width it is faster to paddle and therefore takes off earlier than the converse, and then it is so much more rewarding on the wave. Choppy conditions it is a bit less stable, but I found I very quickly adapted to it. I have also used this board for afternoon cruises on the river/flat days on the coast - you could change your fins to make it even more versatile.

Put a little bit of wax on it. The other two mctavish owners do it.
