Sorry prefer doing my rippin' on a short board and glide, carve, and nose ride on mid or log. Huge difference for me because always/almost go heavy glass but one mans rippin is anothers flailing
This is why I am currently in love with twins and freedom, speed, and out of control and also why I do not want my twin to ride anything like a thruster
Santacruzin get in touch with Allan Gibbons he can shape you a glider
In the event you do NOT want to rip, tear, schralp and do floaters on a 9-footer…
Glider would be a blast at a point. Swoop, glide, trim, carve. Different than a nose-rider or log, but IMO better for how I want to surf a big boar. I know Mitsven down here makes them 8-11’+. I’m sure one of those local shapers can dial you in
I just acquired a lightly used CJ Nelson 7' Outlier in time to ride it at my local point during Cyclone Cody swell and I rode it amongst the longboarders. That kind of board is worth thinking about if you don't mind not having another 2' of length to add to swing weight and nose to catch on steeper takeoffs but have excellent glide and a loose feel and speed....oh yes the speed. Just throwing it in there. Pics next to a 6'2" Burrito kind of hull for comparison.

I need to get a longboard too.
Whether I buy a big motor boat of a gun from an erbbers garage or a longboard, my next board is gonna have some girth. It'll just get utilized at different ends of the spectrum.
FWIW, I rode longboards a lot when I was a younger man. I was never a Super loggy guy, but I was never a chippy HP guy either. I liked to noseride, I liked to turn, and I wasn't super small, so I always ended up with something in the middle. I didn't have sidebites very often, but I rode plenty of 2+1's that went unreal.
I put em to bed and told myself I had too many good years in me to NOT ride a shortboard. I also kept finding myself wanting to hit sections that presented themselves. I ordered a shortboard for a trip and haven't really longboarded for any period of time after that. Now I'm a weekend warrior approaching 40 with some nagging post injury limitations and sometimes I want to be able to ride small waves, easily.
All the shapers I mentioned will make you great longboard or point you in the direction of one. Some will charge more, some less. Some you'll be able to sell for slightly less than what you paid if it doesn't work out. Some you won't.
Personally, I'm still prowling CL.

It appears what I make gets the down vote here
What I make takes a lot of time
Matt should get an Errb approved board
More time to play for me

Bought my first longboard this year myself. A beat down 9'6 Harbour. A little more hplb than I really wanted but the price was right. Its gotten me in the water on a lot of days when Id normally just gone home. That glide is addictive. Still havent put a leash on it, but I only take it out when its waist high or smaller. Fun as hell though! If I was you Id look for a decent used full log. Im talkin 9'6+ heavy glassed single fin. If your gonna ride a log get a real log. Something people will be diving for their lives if it happens to get loose!
No offense, but I assumed you would've been approaching 60!
It's funny how you make assumptions based on how people on here post or little details that stick out.Maybe include custom g-10 oar to go along with your hp crutchIt appears what I make gets the down vote here

Heard it all my life
9'0 single fin with gentle even rocker and good rails, whatever shaper does it for you. 9'0s always feel perfect to me, no more no less, I think it has to do with the blanks but when I ride a 9'1,9'2,9'6, they feel weird and wrong. Don't even get me started on 10 footers you roy Stewarts. 9'0 single fin, no side biters, thin tail. Side biters are against the rules of not making boards suck.
