Are these the same board just different yrs?
I was looking at the pro 9x29 but dont think it will work here, where the converse will being a better all rounder.
I didi not like starboard but every time i ride one i just love them, dam it now i just have to get one
Im thinking a converse or stinger as a everyday go to board and a pulled in nose short board for the clean days.
I think im on the right track, For summer here side chop wind and all that good crap
Or was thinking a mctavish 9'6 as a one board solution for all conditions?
You will find your skills will improve if you actually paddle the boards
Stinger and converse different boards. Stinger was 09 I think and had a flyer. A 9 foot board does not have a lot glide for long distance but the Converse would be good in choppy conditions for someone under 90kg.
FFS just buy one and show us some photos of you on a wave
Not just near one
Oh
Hilly i do have a board, mctavish 9'0 i thought it would be a bitch but it is almost the same as being on the 9'6 mctavish
Was out 3 hours today onshore chop crap but the good odd 1 to 2 ft here and there
Stability was good considering the conditions, Might be a keeper as that would be the worst conditions i would go in.
But gezzz how bad is that grip, any ideas to make it not slip so much
I reckon go the 9'1" x 29" Starboard as a do everything board. It has really good paddling speed, is loose and fast on the wave, works great in small and big surf. With the 29 width it is faster to paddle and therefore takes off earlier than the converse, and then it is so much more rewarding on the wave. Choppy conditions it is a bit less stable, but I found I very quickly adapted to it. I have also used this board for afternoon cruises on the river/flat days on the coast - you could change your fins to make it even more versatile.
I was thinking i should of got a bag of shapes from noosa, The deck pad is flat with no groves so the shapes should stick well, Just about the feet area where i stand and a diamond shape on the tail.
