Gday wise old, and not so old, men (ladies too!!)
very interested in a new board mainly for Perth conditions. I like the look of all three of these.
anyone got one of or even all of?
got an opinion (F@#@$It we all have ...evidence this forum).
Im 6'4, 85/90kgs depending on beer budget and currently ride a 6'3 afterburner epoxy and have a 6'4 epoxy rounded pin for bigger juicier waves.
In a nutshell want a board that will find something in Perth/scabs summer ****e but can handle head+ size, I'm liking the 5 fin options of the wider JS.
Your thoughts please

I've got a 6.0 quite similar to the Stryka, but with a rounded tail. Its set up as a quad but has the spare box to run as a thruster, i never do but. its 2/1/4 thick and 19 7/8 wide. Feels like a super fast, drivey, easy to paddle skateboard. Holds in on solid waves too. i just took the ideas i liked about a few boards to my shaper and had it built. Funnest board i ever had. Got no photos at home but there is one of it doing a floater on a tiny wave on the M8 photography website, under latest shoots I think. If you come in around the 90kg mark a custom might be the go to get exactly the right volume of foam into the board. The al Merrick neckbeard looks to go pretty well too.
