As with all Hull Rippers, the 9-7 Hull Ripper can handle hollow critical waves. Some may use this as “step up” board for bigger surf, while others looking to progress to a smaller size from the 9-11 Hull Ripper will find the 9-7 Hull Ripper still maintains solid stability with increased performance from larger size boards. The design is meant to surf really aggressively and at the same time be a comfortable paddling and stable board. - Beginner in flat or calm waters: up to 175 lbs
