Wanted oldskool/slicey boat for taller paddler

[BigPhil]

Hi,

I'm a tall guy looking for a slicey boat for surfing and hpp. Would be really good if you are near nottingham so I could meet at HPP. Boats I'd be most likely to consider are

S8 235 - my favourite ever!
Super Ego - great boat but a little tight
Big EZ
Prankster
Lucid
Ultraclean
Dagger Prescription RX Large
Jackon 4Fun

I may also be interested in old skool boats such as the RPM max or Whiplash

Let me know what you've got - not looking to spend too much!

I have a super ego that I could be convinced to part with. I struggled to find one when I got it, as I had sold the one I had from new a few years before, and regretted it. I'll probably regret selling this one too, but living in cornwall, it just gets no use, as the surf boat is always the weapon of choice. Let me know if its of interest, as I can see you say its a bit tight for you.

I have a Lucid for sale. Yours for £200. Reasonably good condition, little used in recent years since the owner went to Australia.

I was hoping with this post that there would be some options nearby that I could try. I think I have a friend with a super ego - will try and have another go and see if I can get along with it. I've never even seen a lucid so no idea if it will be a comfortable option.

If anyone local has any ideas on stuff to try let me know. Thanks

Thanks

Is a Necky Chronic too small?
I'm 6'1 and can fit in it...can't remember how comft it is though.
(It's my girlfriends not mine).
It's based in Leeds. The shell is bomber, but the outfitting isn't the best (I'm working on getting photo's).
Either way, it'd be a cheap.

Sorry dave, the chronic is a great boat but too small for me - it is a big push for me to get in the orbitfish which is a lot bigger and not comfortable. Shame as necky make great boats! Hope your recovery is continuing to go well!

Hi Phil,
I’ve got a Riot Trixter in my garage I want to get rid of. It’s had a split at the bow which I’ve welded, and you’ll need to do the usual foam pimping to make it snug. I don’t live near HPP but it would be a good excuse for a trip there at the weekend. If you’re interested I’ll send some photos. We can negotiate a price but I was thinking somewhere around the £100 mark.
Cheers
Ste
