Did you demo some?.. and which ones did you like?

You have no idea - I'll have the SUP (and maybe the missus) with me next year.
Demo'd:
11' Pearce Arrow Laird (surftech)
11' Simon Anderson
10'6" Simon Anderson
10'5" Starboard
9' Starboard (the really wide one)
I didn't get to try the Paddle Surf Hawaii's or the DMB Boards
My Favorites where the 10'6" Anderson (rode at the bar late on Friday) and the 10'5" Starboard (rode it on the Sunday morning in the buffer zone) - I didn't mind the longer boards but the shorter ones (mid 10's) were more fun - I didn't like the 9' Starboard.
Still want to try out the PSH 10'6" WAA, Naish 10 Mana but I'm worried I'll find it too corky, DMB 106, DC 10, Coreban 10'6" and last but not least the Jimmy Lewis Hanalei 10'8". Looking for something around 10'6" x 30" and 160 litres in epoxy construction.
Back on topic does any one know where to find any pictures taken of the SUP'ers from the Friday and Sunday of Mambo of the people surfing around the Buffer Zone?
