I have a 6'6 SLX fatburner. Which cost $700 from corner surf in geraldton so $870 seems a bit much.
The board goes good I'm 6'3 and 100kg and the board paddles really easy. Takes off and gets speed easy.
Mainly use it in smaller mushy waves but have taken it out in over head, starts to get a bit loose in barrels. I ride other boards when it gets bigger and sucky (6'5 rusty thruster and 6'8 rounded pin). An afterburner would also be good for down south and bali as it is a bit narrower.
Good luck with whatever you choose
just exactly what I needed to hear
