Hobie CM Series

[sflinux]

I am a longtime fan of Colin Mcphillips, my first real surfboard purchase was the 9' Stewart CMP. 
I have the 9' x 30" longboard SUP version raw with the trash can nose.  It has carbon rails and a carbon deck pad which gives extra strength.  Great board for the intermediate to advanced rider.  I ride that board as well as I always imagined myself riding the CMP, (never surfed the CMP as well as I wanted, sold it when I got into SUP).  I found the CMPLB SUP to be more stable if I put more weight on my heels while paddling, a similar paddling technique as I'd use on a shorter board.  I suspect the pulled-in nose of the torque will be similar. 
Colin explains the range in this video:

I suspect this board may be a custom, due to the 32" width.  Here is a video of a 9'4".  Perhaps the fishnet makes it "kinky".

And here is a great review of a 8'10" torque:

Let us know how it rides.  The longboard version is perfect for my style of riding.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow so we'll see! It's at a price where I could resell without losing a dime if I don't jive with it. I wish it was 4" shorter and 10 less liters, but we'll see how she goes!

I had a 9’ CM RAW but it was the longboard model with the same construction as yours. It was only 16 pounds and surfed good (had great flex) but was insanely fragile. It was shaped and glassed in So Cal. I ended up snapping it (my fault) and then fixed it. I bought it used but in perfect condition for $750. The seller had about $2300 into it. Because of the Hobie name you won’t have any problem at all reselling it if you don’t like it. I also had an older 9-4 RAW with an outline similar to the one in the image. Only rode that one once cuz I didn’t like the way it surfed.
