First board I would pack is the MD...that think looks like it has enough range to suit most conditions. I too was stuck with either a SP or Spit when I went to indo as an "insurance" board but went with the Spit...I figured I would do something else to do if the surf was that bad that I neede the SP. Not sure if the waves their a super sucky...but if they are just typically good clean surf I would be going the FF again because its slightly more versatile than the TJ. Oh and by the way...you will probably only ride one anyway lol.

Yeah the Taj is widened out and pretty versatile though.
I'm going 604R Flexfire for solid stuff, 600Q Taj/CBD for shoulder to overhead hollower or pockety stuff and 510 Mini Driver as an all rounder for chest to overhead slopey points or small hollow beachies if the swell vanishes.

I am in the same boat as you prjwebb to many boards too choose from . Will be checking the long range forecast and make the call just before I leave will be their for most of Jan so expecting some solid swell at some point . Will be taking two all rounders a Stealth and a Fuego and will borrow a mates step up if required and will take a spitfire but I do not think it may even get wet . The last two times down their I may have required a grovel board maybe only for one or two days in total and the fuego can cover those days.

[prjwebb]

Yeah I agree. In a month it's very likely you'll want a step up.
Last time I surfed the Spitfire quite a bit but that was in head high killers so could easily have been on another board.

I would say that guys who are heading down their with not much knowledge of the lineups and want to know what to take , think a little longer thicker boards why I say that is the waves are powerful but not often perfect , you need boards that can drive though the lumps and bumps take boards which you trust because you can take some heavy hits long hold downs so know your board . Indo boards may not suit thinner more refined boards for perfect conditions . Thats my take anyway

[prjwebb]

Yeah I agree with all of that.

When traveling I take the lightest, strongest most versatile boards I have, with a bit of overlap so one board can back up another if I break one. I try to get it down to 2 if that's possible. The weight is more manageable and doesn't make things so tight luggage wise with excess fees. My last trip I took my spitfire and it only had one or two outings and that was it and the HF would have sufficed anyway, in fact I change to it mid-session. I took 3 boards, 2 would have been easier. Hindsight!

Good photo of the area we surfed this day. The second to last day I was there. The next day was even bigger.
We pretty much went in, caught 1 or 2 waves each and them scrambled back in before we got annihilated. The tide was getting a bit high and waves were smashing into the cliffs and rocks so getting back out the water would have been impossible if we left it any longer.
Pumping though!

leg burn??

[prjwebb]

Ha, if only! There's about 4 different spots in that shot and a couple of them would be split into sections. I wonder if on the perfect day one has ever gone all the way through...
