2018 NS 9'8 or IT 10' for nose riding?

Message par MagW » mar. nov. 07, 2017 11:19 pm

I am a bit hesitant which board to choose as my most extreme nose rider.
I am 64kg. I always have a some wind and wind-chop even at small waves.
I will use it in 0,2-2m slow waves.

I have surfed quite many sessions on the IT10' Pro and I love this board. My IT is a pre serie and does not have concave nose and less V. And it has slightly less tail rocker.

The new 2018 NS has -5 liters volume and +2", that's good, and it is still quite nice and narrow and I like that. Fast from side to side and more stable in chop. I have some challenges with wider 110+ volume boards at speed and wind, >75cm, but the NS should be fine.

NS or IT or one of each? :?: :? :D
What do you think?

Hello,

for your weight the question is wide open. But for me if you say windy, I say Never Stick. It will be hundred times easier. Maybe too much :wink: :wink: :wink:

Thanks,

I have ordered a NS 2018 so I can compare it to the IT Pro 2017. The winner will be a keeper! We will see...
