Surfboards

Brand: Paddle Surf Hawaii
Model: 9'6" All Arounder
Size: 9'6"
Year: 2009
Manufacture's Website: http://www.paddlesurfhawaii.com

Designed For:   Beginners up to 160 lbs in Calm Conditions or Expert Level Paddler/Surfers to 200 lbs.   (70 to 86 Kilos)

Intended Use:   This board is intended for both leisure paddling or performance surfing.    The 9-6 All Arounder is the best mid range all around performer that is meant for riders who like a slightly flatter rockered board for long nose rides.   This board is also an excellent paddler for lighter weight riders.

Like all of the Paddle Surf Hawaii Designs, when the waves get juicy with power this board can handle it .    Not only does it perform well off the nose but this board rips when pushed hard and likes to be put on its rail.    Slow waves or fast, an excellent choice

Construction:   Molded PVC Epoxy Durability is very high.

Fins: 2+1 FCS Sides

This board is great in maneuverability, flies through the sections, and holds up on the nose fairly well. In terms of maneuverability, this model whips around like few other SUP's that I've ridden. Now you have to have your foot well-planted toward the deck stump, otherwise you won't be able to pull the trigger in digging those rails, but once there it will surprise you. In terms of speed, the way the the volume is distributed toward the place where the rider stands gives a lot of buoyancy to the rider and allows the board to fly through all kinds of sections. And in terms of noseride-ability, despite of the relative lack of volume on the nose, the board is a very good noserider. (Note: I didn't ride the molded but the glassed construction. Nevertheless, much of the comments above are likely to apply to the molded construction, which is more commonly seen at surf shops.)
