Great input, Moto... If you can, I'd be interested in a direct comparisson between the 3 boards... Let us know what you feel are the pros and cons on each board... I think that will be a valuable info...
Mahalo from Brazil,
Bob.
Motopilot, Thanks for the review. I am interested in that board and it is good to get some opinions. Plus, we are about the same weight. Did you feel like it didn't surf as good as the regular 10'6 AA or was it about the same? Thanks for your input
What three? Be glad to write something. I know its hard when you cannot try all at once so be glad to provide some input.

I was refering to:
- 10'6AA (that you previously owned);
- 10'6 Wide (that you've been out for the past 5 days); &
- 11' Wide (that you'll write about tomorrow).
In another post, I told Diesel I bought the 11' for my wife but I love to ride it... In fact, Today I took it for a nearly none conditions to surf (it was raining, small waves, windy & choppy) and I had a great time with it... A friend of mine was having a hard time on his 10' C4 and he is at least 15lbs. lighter than I am (200lbs.). People keep asking me if that 11' isn't too much of a board for my weight. I keep telling that's the beauty of it, even it crappy conditions like today I felt like I was in a Caddilac...
Sometimes I think the 10'6 Wide would be a better choice; but sometimes I think the massive specs of the 11' are fine just because they're massive...

This board is intended for both leisure paddling or performance surfing. The 10-6 can handle just about anything. From casual carving 1 foot waves to racing sections on triple overhead, critical bombs, this board performs not only well but exceptionally well for a wide variety of skill levels and types of waves. This board is the favorite all around over 10' model for hundreds of paddlers and surfers. A must have for your quiver. | This board is intended for both leisure paddling or high performance surfing. This board is far different from any other 30" wide board on the market. Great for the person looking for stability but you do not want one of those hard to turn big boards out there, this is it for you. This board carves solid turns! This board is basically a more satable version of the popular 10-6 All Arounder. Performance Matters for EVERYONE. | This board is intended for both leisure paddling or high performance surfing. This board is the ultimate in stability from Paddle Surf Hawaii. Comfort on the water in a variety of conditions is what you are going to get on this model. The added bonus is the 11' Wide All Arounder surfs well too. The same effort that goes into designing our Ripper models went into the 11' WAA. No board on the market with this kind of volume comes close in blending surfing performance and stability. Performance Matters for EVERYONE! |
Moto I wish I knew you were in town I would of loved to hook up and demo some of those PSH wides,I have to get down to LBI try some.
The good old wife trick... Been there... Done that too on a PSH 11'... ;)Hey just don't tell my wife! ;)
Stewart, How is your tuberiding with SUP? Any techniques you can share?
I might have missed it, but for all the people riding the 10'6" AA, if you don't mind me asking, how heavy are you? I guess I'm just wondering how this board performs for the lighter riders (< 170 lbs)...

Used the 10'6" WAA today in 3-4' surf (1-2' overhead) and :) :) :) :) :).
For a big board it transitions from rail to rail very well. Gotta try it in even bigger waves.
I have not ridden this board but I was reminded right now via-phone by my5'2 330 lb5'8 235lb childhood friend that he was insanely barreled on one of these boards.... :o :o :o

I have a couple months on my board now. So far, really like it. I'd be interested to hear what some of you guys are using for different fins set ups??/
I've been using stock center and side bites, but I'm going to start playing around with some different set ups.
