I usually ride shortboards, typically in the 5'7 to 5'8 range. I picked up the Slasher Low Pro 9'3 because I wanted something for small days that wasn't too loggy. I've ridden longboards before, but they were always Thruster setups, not true single fins. I've ridden the Slasher quite a bit, more than I expected, due to the small waves on this side. I like the Slasher; it's nice to transition from shortboarding because it turns easily, almost too much. It provides a different feel but still feels familiar. I'm using a 10-inch fin, as recommended. I've been able to nose ride, which is a bonus. When paddling, the board feels long, but it's manageable. I can sit pretty far back, and it's easy to catch waves without pearling, thanks to the pulled-in nose.
