stick with the tiki if you are already on it, new to sup- it will only get a lot easier

thanks Lacey,i like the tiki 2009 but i was wondering if the new tiki being 26 inches wide will surf better,i want the most radical surf oriented board ,i have the tiki wired just want smallest possible to hit lips harder in solid pt break surf!

i personally think 8' ish is about it, otherwise you really start to miss the reason for being on a sup. i had a 7'2 sb. the 26' will be hard, 2" is a lot, so i would say be sure of it first. i like your attitude
