wide boards
Hey

I am surfing a starboard whopper 10' x 36" . I started on NSP 11'6" went down a few boards and ended up on a 9'6" PSH ripper. I have alower back injury whic flard up really badly due to the constant wobble in any sort of chop. So I had to go to something more stable or lose the use of my leg. I went to the whopper and was amazed. I love this thing, u can stand in any weather and ride it long boardstyle on the nose or toss it around from the back of the board.

I surf round torquay and 13th beach in Vic. it ALWAYS WINDY AND CHOPPY and all SUPERS bail when its not perf.
The Whopper surfs for me at105 kilos really well. i draggd it to Bali and surfed Balangaan which is hollow as. I paddled out the Ant Bombie off 13th and surfed it there.

For the intermediate and physically challenged wide board are a real breakthru. Why is there nothing happening in the 10'x36" dimensions. These are stand up boards not proner sticks. its dammn difficult to stand up out there. why the obsession with narrow? why not explore width and foil and materials and stop imitating short surf boards?
