wondering about getinging rid of my 9'8 x 30 *board fish and going for a 9'0 stinger
ive recently felt alot better on the fish but think a little more speed would be nice at times and a little faster turning would be nice yet still want to be the furthist out back geting all he waves
what you recon?
Wassup charlieuk!!!
All depends why
the 08 9'8 starboard which is what you have by the sounds is a good board in smaller waves.
Other factors we need to now are your weight, conditions you surf and experience

Stinger sounds perfect buy for you Charlie on all accounts.
Good for your conditions and you can rig a sail on it for those 10knot days...
Go for it mate, let us know how you go..
go the 8 5 pocket rocket brother you will love it.stability is great and allows for even steaper take offs.set it on a rail as soon as you catch the wave and throw the little sucker around you wont be dissapointed.might even fit inside the car,get out there a little faster.no more climbing on the roof.
If you like the 9'8 because of its ability to catch waves earlier why not stick with it but get the pin tail? The 9'8 is a great board. Not too big and not too small.
i tried the 10 5 (i think) pintail and didnt realy get on with it much not shore why just didnt like how it turned it did feel nicer to nose ride.id like to try the 8.5 but does going that small mean you loose the long board feel to much?i have a litle 6'0 twiny i surf if its alot bigger
ordered a black camo stinger today cant weight to get it on a wave just hoping the deliver guys are on the ball now christmas is over
board turned up today and it look great till i turned it over to see a big hole left by tnt so now have the hasel of trying to get it all sorted out,doesnt look like i will need it for a week or so as we have snow forcast for the next few days and its looking very flat.
well recived anuther new board minus the hole monday and we have had a swell push in today so got my first sesh on it today waves wernt very grunty so didnt get a feel for what its speed will be like but the board turns lovly and very nimble when riding 3' shore brake looking at the shingle beach suck dry 3 or 4 more days of swell to come so hopfuly will get a few more good seshions on it. would be interested to know if anyone has found any outer fins working better than the stock ones i have a feeling they might not be helping the speed, would puting short board quad fins be rong in a 9' board?
Hi Charlie,
I use the Simon Anderson quads in the large, which equate very close to M7 fronts and M5 backs. I think the small Simons would be good for your size and the stinger. Cheaper option would be to just get 2Xm5 for the front and 2XM3 for the back. The Simons are a nice glass fin and would be better if your looking for high performance, if not the standard M5's and 3's will do the job.
