Do they make a wider or larger nose cone for sups,
well for the pointy nose ones anyway,
i have just received a Little ripper with a bit of nose damage, and i would like to cover it up
plus its good to have the rubber there just in case of impact,
and to be able to rest it on the nose on hard surfaces is good value as well.
What size ripper did you end up getting?
Go to Colin earle surf supplies in ossie pk he will have something
Hilly were are you hiding
You don't need them on the 7/4 rush also good for a coffee table seats 4 
There you go , a jumbo version for the sups, classic !
Got the 8 9" in the end Hilly, though the wide lil' ripper - don't want to make it to hard for myself,
well not just yet anyway.
I just apply some layers of vinyl electric tape on the nose of my boards.
Cut strips of ~ 3" of it, lay them parallel to the stringer and wrap around the rail (1" top 1" bottom, 1" around the rail)
Works nicely to lay the board on cement upside down without worries (on nose tip & kick pad), and to protect from everyday use. It never peeled off yet (clean the board with alcohol before applying, and do not stretch the ends)
Here it is on the nose of my board (lighter red part). The grip on the deck is versatraction.
