Profile 6.1 107kgs (probaly 110 with wetsuit)
Rode a few boards on the weekend to try and find a good wave board. Tried Naish 9.6 quad (it sank), PSH 9.6 wide allrounder (borderline sinking) could master if I was an athlete.
I have ridden 9.8 Starboard superfish and 10.5 STarboard Drive. Supefish was very wave friendly and easy to catch waves, still a bit stiff, however with some different fins Im sure you could fix that. The SB Drive was to stiff for what I was after.
By now I was loosing faith, so I resorted to my knowledge of surfboards and started focussing on volume and board outline. The SB Whopper 10.0 x 34" wide stood out. It has good rocker, excellent outline, and looks like it is easy to use. Took the risk and went an bought one.
One Word ---- AWESOME. Big guys, dont let the width scare you, this board turns on a dime. I was surfing small 2 ft waves with sucky walls. I could pump this board like a short board and rip a cutback with ease.
This board is insane
. Be happy to give Big Guys on Nthn Beaches a run if they want.

and saw this as my only chance to get some balance. I love it on the waves (like an old school mal) but the volume is a handful when taking a beating getting out and my outer reef leggie gets a workout. (Maybe some handles would help) Your board looks a good step once I have a bit confidence with suping and I will put it in the memory banks.
