Robin Johnston (expert): I am light (69 kilos) and I still find the 8’6 to be very maneuverable. This board is very stable and paddles very well. The 8’6 suits me best for smaller wave conditions because I am a lighter rider and maneuverability is a big priority. I was impressed with the ease of which I could noseride the 8’6. It feels very stable walking to the nose and once I am there it’s an effortless sensation
