... My 9'6 actually paddles faster than my 10'6 however you need much more skill, timing and positioning to make it all work.

That doesn't make sense. If it takes more skill, timing and positioning to make it work then it's harder to catch waves.
I get your point here but physically its not harder its easier, when you know what your doing, you can take off with a single paddle stroke rather than having to paddle like billyo maybe its a video thing to prove what I mean.

I like the 10'6 to catch bigger faster waves as it allows me to get in early ...
That contradicts what you said earlier.
Its a different application for the board really, by bigger waves I mean 2 x OH and I dont have the confidence to tilt the small board up into whats for me a huge wave and take off, maybe I am a sissy but its a mind game. I find I hande the drop on the bigger board better. I dont care if it makes sense it works for me.
