    Thank for answer
    A dedicated board for only big waves I would say the MB or the Alternator. If you want something a bit more all rounder maybe the sub-scorcher or the Hellfire.
    I particularly believe you would love the Hellfire, but how big is big?

    I think that the HF would be the good choice in 5'10 ( i practice strapless kitesurf too !!)

    So let me get this right...you get 40 C in summer and ice chunks going down the river messing up your Potato in winter and lots of snow etc etc...... and I thought Australia was extreme

    It's not far is it. In the Cornwall we just get 0-8C in the winter with rain, odd bit of sunshine and maybe a little snow. Then in the summer it's currently 10-15C, windy, moments of sunshine then heavy downpours, flooding around the country... I'd be loving it if it actually warmed up here! Haven't been in the sea in shorts here for a good 10 years. We used to get 30C 'heat waves' but don't seem to anymore.

    You could go many different ways depending on for preferences
    Alternator or Hellrazor are good choices if you're planning on using this board for only bigger conditions.Speaking of which, how big is big at your local break?
    I like myself the Hellfire since it will cover a little more ground
