I'd like to ask some questions and hear feedback from anyone who owns this board. Looking at working a custom around these dimensions.
Thanks in advance.
Just about top take possession of a 9'2 x 29.5" mini Stylelord there MiSUP.... Love the Sylelord shape and scotty has put a little more in the nose to help out with getting up front more often. Should be getting it in about a week so I'll let you know.... Odds on this will be a beast!
Should have also said that 2 of the crew here have just recently got 9'2 hipster twin longboards as well although a bit wider at 32". Stunningly good boards and both guys are super stoked with the performance.... One is competing at the Nationals right now so lets see how he goes!!
It is a cracking board (9,2 x 29.5) very versatile for my 70kg.
Demo'd a couple of different 10 footers before trying this - 9'2" plenty enough board for me.
Tough as nails, it has been well used although just replaced the side fin slots as they weren't the best.
Had it for a couple of years and can't see me getting rid of it - definitely a keeper.

Hi mate. I have a Starboard longboard 10x29 @121 litres and it's a great board to surf as it can surf ripples. I have been looking to upgrade to a 9 footer either a Smik or Sunova revolution. The Smik hipster longboard 9'2" X 28 @120 litres and a Revolution 9' X 28" @ 115 litres and both at similar price. I think I prefer the centre fin box in the Smik as it allows for options. As mentioned above the mini stylelords are also a nice board. I am about 70 kg intermediate sup surfer and wanting to nose ride etc. I can't demo anything so I am reading these posts to help with my decision. Cheers.
If that's the shape & dimensions you're after, I'd also consider a Kalama E3 sup 9'2 x 30" @ 126L. I've been surfing it the past month and I'm addicted. It does everything well - noserides but turns on a dime. This board is magic, there's something about the rocker profile and being thinned out in all the right spots.

I hear good things about the Kalama but at 76kg that's a bit too much volume for me hence me considering the 9'2" X 29" down to around 110 L as a custom

Hi Dave,
Yes, had her out a few times now.... and I am gutted to say that we have not gelled well. Really, and in all truth, there is nothing wrong with the board... it is solid as a rock paddles into waves like a dream and (although I have only had her in limited conditions) definitely has the potential to rip!!
But, I think due to my less than flexible body, I am struggling to get comfortable on it. I think it just doesn't match my style (whatever that is
)
Sorry for the continued hijack MiSUP.... I'll give you wave priority next outing!!

I'm currently on a Starboard Longboard 9'0" X 28" X 101L. If the Kalama was 29" I'd be grabbing it. I'm craving a bit more stability on those bumpy days. ..I'm 60 y.o. 6' tall and 76kg.
I was interested in the Kalama but I think the volume is a bit light on for my skill level. I have put deposit on a 9'?28" revolution at 115 litres. Hopefully I will go alright on it
