Just like to say that I have owned an all wave for about 2 months now,ridden it in all conditions and would have to rate it as the best board I have ridden.At around the 98kg mark this board does everything that the larger boards I've ridden will do but once on a wave turns like a board shorter that it's size.anyone looking for a great board this I can highly recommend. Also can't speak highly enough of the boys at Ocean Addicts they were able to help me in every way.Dont live in the same state as them yet board on my doorstep two days after phone call unreal
Thanks for that Tapman. i have demoed one of these and have decided to buy one. They feel quite versatile to me and offer a lot of stability.
I loved the 9'6" but went with 9'2" (purchased on Friday and demoed for two days prior). At 100 kg I found it a little less corky and although minimally less stable is exponentially more manouverable. there's only around 12 litres difference but the smaller dimensions means the board fits into places the 9'6" doesn't. I am running a 7 inch centre fin pushed forward as opposed to the standard centre that it comes with. Give it a go if you can, at your weight you might be very pleasantly surprised. By the way at 160 litres it paddles really well but you'll need to give an extra stroke to make sure you're into the wave. They are a great range of factory made boards, light and bullet proof. Thanks Wazza at RPS!![:D]
I'v had an All Wave 9'6" for some time . I'm only 85kg and find it to be very stable and turns as easy if not better then my old long board. I also run a 7" center fin pushed forward.I do find I have to paddle a little harder then some to get on the wave if its a little full. But once on it it just flows and turns so easy, I love it.
You're right BB 9'6" or 9'2" its half a dozen of one or 6 of the other. Great boards though!!!
If 85kg is fat then I am a fatty. Wouldn't have thought I was a fatty but there you go.
Still at 57 I am looking for something that has some glide and that I don't have to battle withh for stability and also floats well between waves. The 9'6'' seems to do all of that.
I still don't think I am fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was actually going to point that out but lets face it none of us is is a Kai, Keahi or a Kalama- oh hang on, he's around a 100 kg isn't he? It doesn't matter what board it is it's how you use it and if your'e having fun I hope?
Well at 116kg the 9'6 Allwaves I have aquired and taken down the coast from time to time get enough motivation from my wide ass to be really fun.
Stable under foot, easy to paddle on and never fails to plaster a smile on my face.
Definitely a super fun board!

If only I could...... What's it like to be able to lick your own balls and butthole Doggie?
I've nearly broken my neck trying

Hey Tapman, picked mine up this afternoon. Also invested in new Carbon 80 paddle.
Hope i enjoy it as much as you enjoy yours.
First time I'v been called fat. Im 6'4" tall and 85kg but find the extra stability of the 9'6" great after a couple of hours in the surf or if it gets a little chopy.
hello from sweden. I'm rather new to sup but been kitesurfing 10 years.
I demoed a 8'10" all wave yesterday in waist high wind waves and chop. I'm 75 kg + and it was plenty stable side to side. a bit sensitive for fore/aft stance. despite being my first time in waves on a sup, I managed to catch few.
if I had real waves here it would be good choice I think.
in the end I decided to get the 9'2" for a little less sensitivity to fore/aft stance and the wife/ kids can paddle it too.
I asked the guy at the shop if I should invest in a bigger middle fin for better tracking, and he said it was not necessary. what's the difference in board behavior ?
