I just picked up a 9'11 Hull Ripper. I'll let you all know how it works for a 220lb human soon...

I also need to find a set of quad large PSH future fins.

Post up some pics of the board if you can

I rode my 10'6 w/o the side bites, single fin only and it was squirly.

Following what you guys are saying and weighing in at 200 the 9-11 should be OK
for me.  Sorry for the interuption, killer.

No worries, jump on in.  Glad to have this topic help others.  Yeah that 9'11 should do it for you.

Oh, then you will love the 9 7.  I am 180-190lbs and floated me great.  It surfed really well.  Takes late drops like a champ.

 Cool.  I'm the same weight, love my 9'3 ripper.  I wanted to go smaller but if it's not glassy (rarely is here on Maui) then I have a hard  time staying on top.  I usually sit and wait for the sets anyway.  It's either the 9'7 or 9'2, I'll see what's in stock.

Join a canoe club.  I've learned the Hawaiian stroke then later on the Tahitian stroke a long time ago when paddling for Napili Canoe Club.

I read the "order 3" bigger" at Blueline which is for the 2011 models.  Maybe Blane will chime in here regarding this and the 2012 models.  My ripper is for big surf, I have the 10'6 Pearson Laird for the small stuff.

So like the description says I should choose 3" longer than what I normally ride.  I'll have to check out that 6'7 then.

Thanks for that AJR.  Looks like it'll be that 2012 9'2 since I'm on Maui

Thanks for that info.  Now that I've noticed it, Blueline shows the 9'2 wide like you say but on PSH site it shows  the 9'2x29.5 and no 9'6 but a 9'7x29.75.  A bit confusing.   What I'm looking for is a bit more stability than my 9'3 ripper in the chop.

I currently surf my 9'3 ripper quad and was thinking about getting the new hull ripper.  Floatation wise   which hr would be more like the ripper, the 9'2 or 9'6?

Gear Talk / Re: Laird Pearson Arrow 11' vs Laird Ron House 10'

« on: February 01, 2012, 11:37:00 AM »

I had the 11'0 R. House Laird at 27" wide and I now have the 10'6 Arrow Laird.  The Arrow Laird is more stable and more maneuverable.  It is the better board out of those two, to me.
