Hey mate,nat_blvd said:
I'm a little taller and ride the 6'3. Frontside I like medium AM thruster. Backhand, medium AM quad. With such a narrow tail, I'm not sure you need bigger fins, but I will give AM Large a go.
Good luck with yours. It is a magic board.
Oh, and DroppingOn. It feels boaty under the arm but doesn't surf like it at all. All the meat is in the middle, and the rails and tail are so finely foiled that it rides like a skinnier board.
For a 6' 3" a bit narrow for HPSB, but not "extremely narrow". For a 6' 3" step up maybe on the narrow end of the step up range, but not very narrow. As I mentioned in a previous post, this board seems to be aimed at the step up wave range and the only slightly unusual thing is the width of 20" which is rather wide for step up. So my assessment was that there are a number of features that keep the 20" width under control (tail concaves) as a step up and a tail on the narrow side of the normal range is one of them. However, thats just my personal assessment, everyone has their own normal ranges.kool-aid said:
Short cut isn't really a step down though. Nugget round tail I suppose if you got it stretched out a tiny bit could be comparable to a QK, Meat cleaver etc. It felt a fair bit less performance when I fondled one but it was a nice board. Very wide nose. If you got one "sported" up a bit it could be that I suppose!gui said:
Maybe a blend of them would be the call
The Phantom could be coming soon!!!
:jam_on:Need a board for barreling beach break (overhead+, longer period & meaty) with an occasional wall for longer drawn out turns, i think this is the one?
Sounds very reasonable to me. I'm an inch shorter, 5 pounds heavier, and 31 years older (ahem, cough!) and on a 6'3. I don't often get to surf good beach break waves, but it goes great in unpredictable and powerful reefs.shakajawea said:
After the most dismal winter of surf in Wellington's history, surfing my nugget 95% of the time, and my Byrning Spears deep six on the few good days, I finally had a good surf at my local yesterday on the Ghost.
15kt onshore at first, but a powerful swell, and waves very peeling nicely down the point/reef. The Ghost felt so fast and responsive, full of sizzle and with none of the small sweet spot issues I had riding it one day as a quad. It picked up speed instantly, and I felt I could move quite a bit up and down the board and still feel in the right place.
Put your foot on the pad and the thing turns very hard. Whoa.
Next step is Indo in a week's time. High hopes
