[singlepic=3993,125,188] I got a chance to hang out with Joe Blair during his recent trip to Oahu's north shore. We surfed everyday and had a blast on this new 8'9" x 30" x 4.25" stand up board. I was shocked that at 220 lbs I could stand on it comfortably. In fact, once I got used to the 8'9" I couldn't go back to the 9'11". It just felt too big. So the 9'11" has been passed on to my buddy.The amazing thing about this board is that after riding it for a while, I'm sure we can go smaller. I let Nate S. ride this board at Ala Moana Courts the other day and he was pretty stoked on it. I think Nate is 230 lbs. I even heard him give out one of those laughs that express how stunned he was by the way the board turned. Nate almost pulled off a 360 degree off the lip also. Too bad I didn't video that.Check out this video with Joe talking about his new 8'9".(click thumbnail to launch video)[gallery=92]
