My paddle on the new PSH Hull Hybrid.

Thanks DJ. I'm going to check the Mana tonight and meet Dave Kalama in Jacksonville. Should be a blast.

Looked really good and wide for me, I'm 5'9" and about 140lbs. They said the 10'2" or 10'10" Hull Paddler would fit me...

I just realized there was a typo in my post. I'm 240 not 140 lbs. Wish I was 140. Anyway I also wanted to report on this board. I just got this 10'2" x 33" Hull Paddler, in fact is the same as in the pics just different deck grip tape. I'm a total beginner and this board is great for me. Really stable for a heavy beginner and pretty maneuverable. I'm having a little issues with going straight and have recently replaced the stock 7.5" fin with a 9" one and that helps. I'm also working on my technique which will help out a lot too. I've only taken it out about 4 times, and only for a short period each time, but it's a blast. It's a great beginner board being wide, 4.75" thick 187L volume floats my 240lb heaviness, and the short length fits in my apartment well. Not to mention it's at a great price point.

DJ next time you are at the shop see if they have any dealers out here in san diego the closest seems to be blue ocean  up in santa  barbra. and  give us an update on the waves you caught  since you got the board how have your impressions changes since the first day?

I'm in Oz so I wouldn't know who your local dealers are.. and I only demo'ed the board the one day when I took those pictures.. Blane will know.. I'll send him a PM.
