All sounds like fireballs gets the thumbs up.I also have a 8'6" sunova wood decking
local guy use to be here but believe now on your side of the coast great board very light and easy to ride.What about overseas trips who recons they have found that great longboard destination? I mainly go to Bali but now too crowded
although I went in the wet season last year and was surprised with the good breaks sanur side of island and less crowded.Anyway looking at getting away this year some pretty good deals with all this loom and gloom around

Bert Burger, after getting done over in the Firewire controversy is actually now popping out most of his boards from somewhere in Asia...a far cry from the the old Mandurah shed

we could alwase go over to ALB forum just for long boards ?
but here seems so nice

Hi Guys, since im living in Polar Bear country > Sweden, And we are not as prone to get waves that much.
I have a questions maybe some of you dudes on Wave blessed places can anwser ? :)

Im a 94kg guy, 191cm tall and been riding a Naish 10´6, big board, i catch most waves, but I lack the "turnability"...so...

Now on my car roof lies a McTavish FireBall 9´3, waiting to be put into the 3 degree celsius water :D (just free of ice btw :)

But, have I choosen the right board for my lenght/weight ?, or should I go back and replace it with a 9´6 ?

Waves comes maybe once per month ;) so I might not get a chance soon to test the board, although seriously thinking about getting my somewhat overweight pal to stand in the water infront of me and hop up & down to generate some waves.

The "problem" is that a 9´6 will arrive to Sweden by boat in like 5 weeks, and only 1, so either i go with my 9´3, or I wait and pre-book the 9´6.

What you guys think ?, stick with the 9´3 (and bere in mind, here we get at best like shoulderheight waves, at best ;) or wait 5-6 weeks with no surf, for the 9´6 ?

Seeya on the lineup if you choose to come to Sweden and surf :), we may have ****ty waves, but ...i reckon we smile just as much as you guys do when we catch a wave :D

Hi , great with so quick quick response

Ill stick then with my 9´3 and hope I can still ride knee high waves with this one

The fin attach to the board was a 7", doesnt that feel like way too small a fin ?
(2 small fins where also included) but as far as ive understood, singlefin is the best for nooseriding ?, and the included 7", should I replace that one with a 9" ?

Thanks again for a great forum

I have 7 inch centre fins in my 9.4's, and they help turn the board on a dime!
On my 9.6 single,I run a 9 inch!
Knee high waves on a 9.3 hmm,if its low tide great but very hard work high tide!
