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?
What do you think?
2018 NS 9'8 or IT 10' for nose riding?

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

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...
