Brooko .. get the cheque book out old son !!! Am 107kg and the 9'6 floated me no dramas. Only flat water paddled it but water was just to my ankles on the the stroke, floated back up when at rest. Spins really easy, only need to drop ur back foot a little way cause of the quad set up. Paddling wasn't too different to my 10'8. Tippyness ...... what tippyness ..... as someone said previously u actually sense when she is about to roll a split second before it does, and u can catch easy as. I did punch it through the creek mouth over a few ankle biters but didn't take it out and surf it. Why did't I surf it ...... cause if I did something seriously bad would happen to the bank account.
