Im interested to its nose riding ability, I find mine goes well if you want to surf more like a short board , but for nose riding and old school type surfing ......... I struggle to hang 5 on it , which I can do on my old Dell NZ made board , which is 1/2 in thinner and 2 in shorter, so im now looking for a more all round board , any suggestions..... ??
The Brewer 9'6 Nose Rider, is a very good all rounder... A bit of rocker, to deal to steeper waves... Nose rides, OK. But is also fun and fast when surfed off the tail...
My Occasional Pin is also a very good all rounder... Surfs extremely well in everything! I believe The Pinnacle is fairly similar.
aye why didn't ye say so young grom
