Dagger Gride 6.5 Vs Pyranha Sub 7 -Zero

Postby woozor » Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:07 pm

Which is the best of two?

Dagger Gride 6.5 59- 100kg max capactiy
Pyranaha Sub 7 zero 70-120kg max capacity


Useage in the sea for surf and general messing about. Im no aspiring surfing champion, fun is all im after. Does anyone have any experiance with these? With myself being 90kg the dagger seems the better fit. Im 6ft 90kg muscular built so slim waist. Im thinking the phyrana would be too big inside? (or would I fit? anyone who is of similiar dimensions around? thats been in one?)

If anyone can shed some light on this it would do me a favour as im gonna order one or the other "second hand that is"

Moving post over here as mentioned.

My thoughts are that the Seven 0 makes a better surfing boat. The G-ride is stubby, fun on rivers and play features, but sluggish. The Seven 0 is snappier when gaining speed to catch waves! The volume on both will be fine once you are immersed in several feet of waves, they just require some grunt to do flatwater tricks.

120kg limit on the 7-0 is a bit optimistic in my opinion. They work really well at up to 110 ish but best at under 100.

Seven-0 is awesome, G-ride sucks.

The G-Ride is fun but slow!

If your tall you might find you struggle to get in the Sub 7, I can't or at least not for more than a few minutes. The G-ride on the other hand is pretty roomy.

120kg for the sub 7 is a bit optimistic. There is no clever science to those weight ranges, its someone guestimate. Dont treat them as gospel.
