I have been summoned. For reference, I am 5'9" x 180 pounds. Owned almost forty of Manny's boards - the long story is if you're looking for a lower-range mid, a Clandestino with bites is great. Tippy, wide point back, hold for steeper days. Big Oracles are great, just got a buddy on one courtesy of @MarkA , think foiled egg with a lot of range, Manny will suggest them as a twin now with the micro-channels (Delta-V config) and I'm inclined to agree. If you go with a Cal Stub Delta-V, ask for more foil, they will also be far more backfooted than you assume. ASQ, always. I have two and that's a desert island board. Microlight for clean days where you want to rip with no swing weight, poly for everything else (incl. carrying momentum, compared to the ML). Have had ten ASQs and like them best around 5'8" and 21.25", they do everything. Superchunks are in the same category, though I'd order my next with five boxes instead of four, the thruster option is nice. Manny will not shape the Void any longer. He will rarely offer a Hunter as purchasable stock but as a custom may be a different story - they are uncommon. If you're looking for unique-feeling and short, I'd try Arctail Hull, had a 5'6" that ripped with a smaller flex fin. If you're looking for unique and longer, I'd go 7'0"-7'4" Oracle Delta V. The hull entry on all of the aforementioned boards is what shines with his designs. @AsymCowboy don't overpay for that Superchunk MIcrolight. It was $600 in Ventura with those fins a couple months back. Surfed one in the same size over the winter and it was very, very fun as a thruster, can really throw it around. Lots of planing surface in a small package, but remember you don't have the weight or rail line to glide through flat spots (gotta actively drive around them). |
