Should it stay or should it go? With the UFO in my immediate future, will the 8' superfish be neglected or are there conditions more suited to one rather than the other?????

Hang onto it mate take both boards with you when you go that way you have your bases covered no matter what you just need a SUP to complete your quiver

but the question is, are there conditions more suited to one or the other?

Kadi you could keep it like kneeboarder said,if you sold it you would get jack,sorry its a pop out

However,you WILL NOT go back to it after riding the UFO,you have no idea how many of my mates have told me I'm nuts selling it

Dont worry I will be getting another one hmm what dim's ,hmm what art

Got a decent offer already, don't forget I got it at a good price to start with.

But again, do you think there are any particular conditions that would suit one board rather than the other?

UFO has you covered mate unless your into 8 foot plus

Cheers boys. I might just keep it. The only reason I would sell it is to get the 7'3" Fish so I can cover a bigger range of conditions. GPA will be my guide

Mate if you havent mastered the 8 footer yet then I think stepping down to a 7,3 would be a mistake

Keep it for when the crowds are out of control, strap on your kamakazi hat and GO!
That way you won't care if it gets a ding or two and you can still charge in heavy crowds.[}:)]

Love it Locky, it is always good to have a sacraficial board in your quiver[}:)]

Was not going to buy the 7'3 tomorrow Boofy more wondering whether to waste the space storing the 8 footer if it is never going to be used.

But I think Danieli is right, spec are quite different, suitability for conditions will probably also be different.

Lockey, the way I have launched and ejected the fish out of the water while learning proves it is very durable, so it probably is a good fallback option anyhoo...... and of course for the occasional kamakazee run

IMO hang onto it. The UFO might be the board for you mate but while you're getting used to it you might get smashed here and there and if you have a "confidence" board you can go back to once in a while, then its gotta help with the transition.

Don't sell it, you'll miss It..

someday somewhere in the future you'll wish you still had it, so keep it.

Keep it no brainer

Hi guys 1st post . Been reading your posts for the last few months while pondering whether to grab a longboard or stick with the short board . Found some real interesting posts and some quite funny ones .
Kadilac I just bought my 1 st longboard a Glen Darcy 9 ft x 22 inches x 2 inches . My plan is to keep my 7 S fish for the bigger steeper days ( mine is 6 ft 7 and is a WMD ) and use the longboard on the gentler smaller days . Then down the track depending how the longboard experience goes I will grab a mid length board for the bigger days and just keep the fish for a bit of fun . Don't know if I could bring myself to sell the fish it's a real fun board .
Talking about fun we had an old bloke on a kneeboard out with us a few months ago . 1 st time I ve seen one in about 20 years but he was having a ton of fun on it . It's amazing how much speed those things can generate .
Anyway my advice is keep the board or sell it and grab some lappies with chrispy .either idea sounds good

sell it. come see me and we will drink heaps and get lappies with the cash. oops just did that

Not after last time. Remember we ended up in the lock up and you met that really big guy, bubba and he was all hands! Not for me.
