Ive always rode a slightly longer DK board and was wondering what your thoughts are on this? Im 5.7 and 73kgs (160lbs)and usually ride between a 42-43 in PP. I usually ride in cooler waters and when I have rode a DK PE board its been so much better to control with what seemed like more stable speed and projection.

Also will the core change the length? eg. would I be better suited to a PE core thats smaller 41 inch or maybe a 3D core thats 42 inch. At the moment Im riding a Science DK5 42 inch PP and it seems stiff and uncontrollable. Was looking at a CARTEL Paul Roach 41 or 42 in PE or as an all rounder a Science MS1 3D in 41?

Your Thoughts please Jay

Rob

Check the Nomad Lackey PE dropknee model. It comes in a few different sizes, but I'd suggest 42" for you. I'm 5'8" and 157lbs and that's a perfect size for me prone and DK.
