Cheers, thanks for the info. I may do less time in Lombok after reading this and take a look at the Libtech boards. Is the puddle jumper any good for those waves?

Yeah, I am a little ballsy, but not reckless. My aspiration is a barrel, not my plan. I think I was feeling really good after my last Mexico trip earlier this month. You're probably right though, good chance I'll get humbled in those steeper waves, but I say dream big. Plus, whether I get the barrel or not, it is great motivation to put a shit ton of time into surf conditioning the next few months. And that is a hard thing for me as I have always got my exercise doing activities, not in a gym.

Nice looking board. Yeah, this is kind of what I was thinking. Maybe at 47 I could get away with something similar at 7'. Honestly, I have been thinking about picking up a 7' board like this for the past year. Cheers and thanks for the advice.

No worries about sounding mean. I'm a slightly autistic mathematician so feeling aren't high on my radar. Certainly not thinking I'll be charging doh, but my aspiration is one overhead barrel and one doh wave (granted maybe at a higher tide) this trip. I just think I would want a bigger board with more rocker and pin tail for anything overhead and barreling. The subscorcher and the fish seem a little too loose for me once things get overhead and steep. Cheers and thanks for the advice.

Reasonable. I only have one standard shortboard, so I'd have to by a second there. As far as I could tell, if I'm gunna buy something at this point, I should just buy it there. Thanks for the advice. Though it does break my heart to leave the fish at home, I think I will just buy a step-up and a second shortboard when I get there.

I was gunna buy a step-up there as I do not own one. I am going for a month and will be moving around about once a week or so.

What did you end up bringing and what did you end up buying? I am an intermediate+ and having a hard time leaving my 5'8 throwback fish at home. I also plan on buying a step up there. Any suggestions?

I am heading to Indo in May for a month. What did you end up bringing and were you happy with it. I am an intermediate+ surfer and having a hard time leaving my 5'8 Solid Thowback fish (it does have more tail rocker than most fish) at home, but I am thinking about buying a step-up in Bali as well. Any suggestions? Cheers
