radman....give the jl surf series a try..the 11 is big boy cruizer...yuze would want a jl10 for a challenge or a 10'4 for nice n eazy... good boards for the surf and trips to the Edge??? for the slightly bigger stuff....no jetty jumps on these though

got my JL from jason, who sells kitesurf gear in rockingham.....

tell him u know me and he may give u a good deal...

alternativley choice kiting in hilton has em and also corey/marty littlewood in margs...they import em.

yep, i rekon u'd be alright with the 10.... wouldn't wann go much smaller than 10, coz then u start to lose that 'glide feeling' that makes supping what it is....just a personal thing there...

lucky bar steward....enjoy the outer edge again.... that wave would be killer on a sup...long long long rides

Here is a vid I took on the Starboard 9'0x30"
Sorry its an old vid and I was a kook hahaha this was the days before the Casso Sucker Cam took off.
There are two options now with the 9'8. Either 30" or 28.5".
I personally like both these boards. The difference I can feel from these is the 30" is alot more user friendly for those who want the stability. Its alot more cruisier and mellower but still has the ability to carve nicely.
The 28.5" keeps you more on your toes and is alot more looser than the 30"
Both have the FCS option which I recomend using as this turns the board into a real surfing machine
