Probably a good thing I didn't jump on one of your 6-somethings last week!

A 6-6 with 80-85L would be a nice addition to your quiver :-)

A buddy of mine is going to be working with Kronos on an order over the next few months (a Big Guy Nano).  We might just have to make another trip down there to pick it up!

Hopefully the surf will be better than it was last weekend :-)

We're going to be starting the design of this one later this week. I'll definitely start a new thread for it.  I'm really excited to see how it turns out.  I think a bigger board like this will really benefit from this super light construction technique. The current thought is something with a similar shape to my Nano here, but blown up to 9'0 x 31-32, 155-160 L.  Any bets on the final weight?

I was lucky enough to get a solid 5 days in some good swell in Nosara last week on the Nano.  I was a bit worried about if I could handle it out in the lineup if there was water moving around.  I did better than I thought I would.  Once again, I was pleasantly surprised with the stability for the size.  I liked the feel of the board on some waves that had some power. Some of the waves probably could have used the Kronos K2 (the Nano's higher performing sibling with a more aggressive rocker and narrower tail), but the Nano handled it great.  It handled late drops with ease and was fun all around. The extra low weight really became noticeable on shoulder-high forehand waves--the board was so fun and playful.

I can't believe I missed this thread until now. Just read all 4 pages.

I love this kind of discussion with all the important numbers that go into a magic board for your own size and weight and the kind of waves you surf.

A few more shots from my trip last week on my new board.  I ran it with a small set of quads plus a center knubster.

board: 7'4 x 26, 81 L @ 8.2 lbs
me: 145 lbs
