hi there - firstly just wanted to say great blog and great liddle hull - i was also hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I have 3 Liddle hulls - a couple of bladey under 7' and the other a 7'6 inbetweener - i have the opportunity of getting a 7'10 vaquero but am wondering if it's going to be worth it as it may not be all that different from my 7'6 - knowing you have 4 andreinis and some liddles any advice/opinion on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks I am glad you like the blog. The Andreini is probably a heavier board which tends to work great. However it may not be as responsive compared to the Liddle. My guess is that you might want to look for an andreini in the above 8'0 range. That would be a great addition to the quiver, and a compliment the Liddle's well.The longer Andreini are insane. Complete glide and smooth. My first Andreini was a 8'6" and is still one of my favorites boards. Good luck

hi
that's really interesting thankyou - there is an 8'10 i was looking at but wondering at that length if it'll feel and surf more like a long board than a hull - i know the andreinis can be surfed off the tail but not really wanting that from my larger hull - again any opinion would be fantastic
thanks
