Hi Phil,
I'm spewing I missed the demo day at OG. I've been looking for a new board and the PSH models have caught my eye. Currently I'm riding a Bonga (fantastic quick board but too unstable for our cross shore conditions) and the 7S uberfish (great stability in any wave conditions but not the performance of the bonga, seems to nose dive a bit, slow rail to rail). I weigh 80kg. I've been surfing for a while and have a dodgy style but I am confident in any size that this area can dish out. I'll ride from Beacon to OG and any of the reefs. So what I'm really after is something stable, maneuverable and hold a nice line on a steep wave but also fun on a beach break. What do you reckon?

Thanks for your help
Div
Hey Brooko and Robdog hope to be down your way in a month or two.

Yea with robdog right there, think you might go a bit better than you think mate you are well advanced enough to rip on a 9 6" naish or 8 6" surfshapes

I reckon you should get a 8 6" surfshapes, but due to Rod been snowed under with orders you should get yourself a 9 3" or 9 6" naish

Hey Div,

9,3 and 9,6 Naish are great boards and so are the surf shapes. I have a 9'6 wide AA and can get hold of a 9'6Wide Ripper and I think a 9'1 Ripper.

At 80kg I also have a 7.2 x 30 starboard that you would rip on if you want to demo one.

All of the above are great boards, just depends on what you like when you demo them.

Get my number off Dave Boyd or Matty etc.

Phill

No need to be too modest Div, you were getting a few good ones in less than ideal conditions last Thursday night.
