I had a smaller destroyer and it was plenty stable. It's also significantly more liters so all things being equal should definitely be the more stable of the two.But is it the better choice for you?

Nope its not, more liters does not mean its more stable. Its just more volume If that's what you need for your weight than it can be the right choice. If not don't buy it

I should also point out that the destroyer is not considered a longboard shape in that size. The 10 footer is but the 9.3 is the standard shape.
