Fanatic Allwaves.... which one is best for me?
« on: January 25, 2013, 08:15:39 PM »
 Hello all, I am new to the forum, have been paddling for almost two years on North Texas lakes and north Florida & Alabama (when I can get there). I wanted to get some info about Fanatic Allwaves. Not sure which size to buy.
Anyway, I also windsurf so this is why the Allwave appeals to me. I'm 5'10 and weigh 180 lbs. Any advice would be helpful, I've already read most of the threads here related to Allwaves.

Thanks!

I concur.

I'm 6' and 240lbs

I paddled spookini's 9'2 on flatwater with no problem at all. I could surf it on a really clean day.

Chipping in here...

I'm 6'1" and 200lbs and ride an 8.10. It floats me in literally ANYTHING. Great board, lively in small and big surf... and will surf good enough for most mere mortals  ;D

I was about 182lbs when I got a 9'2" and it paddles and surfs well! I think it is better suited for some one around 200lbs + or minus a few! I am actually going to downsize to the 8'6" for my all around small wave board, if I owned just one board do it all, it might be the 8'10"? I am down to 164lbs now and hope I can just keep getting shorter on the board size, but at one point the glide with be gone!
8'10" would be my recommendation for you!

Fanman,

Glad to hear you are enjoying your 9'2 The concern I have is when you get back here (on EC) the 8'10 at your size might lack projection for our waves here

Give me a call 484 515 5758

Thanks Jim K,

I have a 8'0 Coreban Vibe that I picked up on Maui. It took a little getting used to, but I made myself ride it in everything from windy over head at Kanaha to 1' and slow at Kihei Cove. I hope one just a little bigger and wider, like Kine shape the (Allwave), I can pull it off? Will find out soon enough?
