G'day fella's I'm looking moving on from my Wide Ripper 8'9" (its in the buy/sell
) and getting a Starboard 8'5" Pro. What can i expect?
I consider myself competent annd have surfed for 30plus yrs and been supping for 5. I also have a Hokua 9'6" for the less than perfect days. I mainly surf in the SW of WA so I'm used to solid powerful waves. I am finding the PSH great but the wider style can get/feel bulky in hollow waves.
Anyone had experince on both these boards?
My shop will give me a great deal on a new 8'5" but having never ridden one i'm not sure, The outline (nice pin tail) is very similar to the short boards i have been riding for the last 20yrs so i reckon they 8'5" will surf OK.
Your thoughts?
