I am on a Stun Gun 8'7 and a Supertech 7'10
Love the sufability of the supertech but my waves are rarely juicy enough for the SG.
But the ST is a workout for me. I get tired after an hour. 61 yo but 70kg
thinking of the destroyer...what size would you think? and is this the right complement for this quiver?
IMO The 10 ft Destroyer is the only board in the range that's truly refined ,all the other models are way over volumes for their size,fine for the bigger rider but not good for us lighter people, I'm 75 kg and the 10 x29 ..125 litres is fine.
Sorry misinterpreted the question,I was looking at it from a long boarding point of view.,I just think and have said many times the Destroyer range could handle,a lean version of all boards under10 ft,and yes the very small versions are to wide,again IMO
IMO...Good point to late,I have picked one up looked it over felt it's weight ,and did not purchase ,for the following reasons .I'm 68yo I have been as high as 90 kg am now 75 with the weight loss at this age you tend to lose muscle mass /strength I also have very bad shoulder problems so my boards have to be longer and more parallel,to limit Yaw boards that are to small in length and to wide tend to yaw for most people,let alone older / injured suppers.I have Been a fan of Jimmy's prouduct for as long as they have been available in AU and have owned approximately 15 of his sups my favourites being the striker in several sizes as they are flatter rocker and tend to be more parallel in shape .Then I purchased The 10 ft Destroyer ..... wow this board / model is amazing and all I have been riding for Approximately 2 years now,but even this board is becoming hard to paddle for me,and will probably need to go bigger that's why it's for sale . All the above is about my journey not the destroyers design or sizes if I was younger / fitter I would be on an 8 ft, as I would never question Jimmy's designs/ models,my only criticism of this model is I would love to se more options on sizes like the lean range of the super frank,,especially narrower/less volume in the lower sizes for lighter riders
Billiekrub,the most obvious is the rocker on the 10ft destroyer there's lots of it,and the rails are so fine the bottom shape of the destroyer is the same as the strikers except for slight concave under the nose on the destroyer ,the rails are the same on both destroyer and striker,an old school down rail,with good edge in the tail,THE NOSE RAIL IS WORTH NOTING ITS A DROPPED NOSE RAIL similar to the Takayama in the pink longboard designed to help the nose lift. back to bottom shape flat all the way to vee in tail (striker)-and the strikers rocker is much flatter....slight concave to flat to vee in tail (destroyer),both simple but Very functional designs this KISS principle plus build quality/weight is there secret IMO.
