Hi,
I-Wave in the bigger size like 8’4×29″x116L could be a good board to look after my current Quatro Glide 8’6×32″x130L or it is a too big jump? I found one with 60% discount in a local shop. Actually I like stability of my current board but in the surfing it feels big in the turn. Also Gong Karmen FSP 8’4×30″x120 is a candidate even cheaper but board is heavier (pro version is too expensive) and I cannot find any independent review.
Thank you
Andrea

Unfortunately Gong don’t want to send us any boards for tests. This might change in future because I know many paddlers are asking them for SUPboarder reviews of their boards. One more question.… Read more »
