If you somehow had open access to long, uncrowded waves that were unwinding faster than anything you`d ever experienced… on WHAT, and how, would you choose to ride them?

I think I would want a single fin fun gun around 7’6"by 20" or so, or an old school fish around 6’ to 6’4" that way I could hit it on my knees, and feet. Get in early, grab a rail and hang on! Scott

I’m faced with it evey couple of months at a certain spot. It takes a little effort to surf there, so I’m always agonizing on what board to take in. On 6 ft and under days it’s more often than not, a fish (real fish). If it’s bigger it’s my 7-0 Bonzer. No Question about it! On both boards you take off at an extreme angle and almost never go to the bottom. If you do you’ll most likely be left behind!! aloha, tom

Some of the worst experiences I’ve ever had were with boards that were made for extreme conditions, then waiting for those conditions, then finally taking it out with no idea of what it could or couldn’t do. Some of my best experiences were when I rode what I was most familiar with at that moment. Jumping onto something unfamiliar feels foriegn, so you have to make two adjustments…to the waves, and the board. The other thing about a familiar board is that you know its limits, and can take lines that are within its envelope. The key word in your scenario is uncrowded. That really makes the task of taking on challenging waves a lot easier, and safer.
