The 7'6 "Lean" is the way to go if you want a short performance sup...
Agreed, when I first got the 7'6" SF Lean, I was thinking yeah I could have went shorter and still not had stability issues (I'm around 78kg), but.......after having it for about 8 months, I don't think I'd go much shorter because it would take away a bit from it being able to catch basically everything. There's a point of diminishing returns, I think you could get down around 7', but.........for the majority of people and more importantly, conditions, it wouldn't help.
I know - but i now find it hard to even surf a 7.4 in any brand now, my main board is a 7.2 x 30" just like a 6.2 short board:-)
Your board is short Johndesu and what's your weight, I don't how you ride them ;)
hopefully when rob gets to vicco one day or when I see him next I'll like try the SF 7'6, destroyer 8'0 & supertech but not sure which size?
I feel that it is the length now that bothers me, as I like to surf top to bottom,
a longer board (in small to medium waves is too restrictive and does not fit inside the pocket properly (I have an old 7.7 starboard pro for big waves (over 6ft), i am only small and light 5'6" x 65kg (dripping wet in a steamer) and getting old now 57 :-)
