Thanks for sharing your Molokai experience DW, great read and top effort..well done!

Back on the thread topic I was always keen for a 12'6 but reading the above I think a 14+ would be better for what I want to do. Wish I could get three boards!

imo, if you can only have one board and you want to do everything including a bit of surfing=14 foot

Are there any stock 14' foot boards with removeable rudders? Or would you need to order a custom?

there was talk of being able to do that on the new sic bullet 14' er. not sure if it happened that way

My DC14 has both a removable rudder system as well as a removable fin system. The intention here was to have the best of both worlds. It proved to be a bit of an overkill for me, however, as I don't do much racing so I hardly ever use the fixed fin system. Still, it is there is I ever need it.

Here is a picture of my early fin system but I do tape up the fin hole when I am not using it.
