Has anyone ridden the new Naish 9'5".
I am looking at getting a new board for my wife with some selfish considerations for my self. Yes I want to ride her too. She is after a board that she can load on the car by herself (Landcruiser) and that she can use in the small surf and flat water. She is only 5'2" and 55kg and wants to go when she wants and not when someone is around to give her a hand with the board to the roof of the car and to the water.
I have the 9'6" and though she likes it the look of the 9'5" and the extra volume might make it a bit better on the flat??? Also a bit more stable in the surf.
On my self confessed selfish reason has anyone ridden it in the surf??? I normally surf the beach break in Buddina. I was wondering how this one would go when the wind picks up. The 9'6" is great in the surf but in the rough chop it is more challenging. I am 6' and over 90kg.
Look forward to the feedback.
