Just started riding strapless on an Ocean Rodeo Mako King (165x45) with their new deck pad and I put the 3 fins on the back. I find that I wish I had something bigger and wider for some more flotation when trying gybe turns and playing around. I guess more stability while I'm learning. This board is real grippy and knives thru the water more than it planes. I'm not really into tricks and air but more busting thru shore break and getting out into the rollers (4 feet sometimes) and peeling off the roller downwind and slashing around a bit. I like stability since I get into deep water sometimes and the breaking waves are in shallow water... I also like zen sightseeing sessions in lighter wind. But I am not looking for the "lightwind answer".
The conditions are inland lake/1-3foot waves with chop, rollers farther out, mush, and onshore wind (10-15mph the norm). I'm 5'8/165 lbs...
I've kind of narrowed it down to:
Cabrinha S-Killit 5'10
Underground FreeWave 5'8 or FreeWave Fish 5'8"
Placebo Uber Fish 5'8" or 5'6"
Placebo Surf Skate 5' or 4'11"
Any opinions - Thanks
