You are bigger than me....I have to work at my 8'10 and you're  rockin' a frickin' 7'11?..... You are a savant!  ;D ;D ;D

Knowing what the 8-10 is all about now after several goes in all kinds of waves I would recommend to anyone that they buy the volume they feel comfortable  on don't think to much about the width.For me at 82kg and add for wetsuit the 8-8 at 124 lit would be a conservative call the 8-5 at 112lit would have been a lot of work in the conditions  iam normally in. I just feel these boards are more stable when they are sunk down in the water a bit. The 8-10 is still a fun board for me but if your going to split hairs!

I am picking up a 9'5 Speeed tomorrow from wetstuff, on my way to Hatteras..... bringing it to JimK upon my return.
I will get to surf and paddle it for a week.... soooo stoked.
Then I can tell you what a Speeed is like, that is a lot bigger than I need..... I am betting that it is going to be AWESOME!
and yes... I am bringing my camera gear ;D

This is me testing the 8'5 Speeed in Portugal while visiting the Mauka Lodge (http://www.maukalodge.com) that offers specialised SUP surfing excursions in the best spots of Portugal. I can highly recommend it.  Speeed is a great board. I liked it so much, ordered one from the distributor in Portugal after the test. The board arrived safely to Mallorca, Spain. I have also a Jimmy Lewis Stun Gun 8'7. Speeed 8'5 is more stable and catches even the smallest bumps. The name speaks for itself. It is really fast down the line.   The finishing quality is awesome. Let me put it this way. I have had so many boards before and my wife never commented about any of them but this time she even said that the board looks awesome.  I weigh 83 kg and the board floats me well.

Ericeira has swell all year around. In the summer it is more windy and September and October the waves are bigger.
