    Hey guys, long story short:
    lived in Bali for over a year where I started to surf, surfed every day multiple times a day and came down to be able to actualy ride ok a 6.1 Semi Pro 12 (Im 170lbs) .

    Now I wanted to have a board that can do -> less better waves, specialy for where I live (Portugal), beachbreaks, fat and mushy. Wanted something that gets in the waves easily but have good manuverability, as I want to improve going a bit more vertical and better turns.

    I came down to a list (Please correct me if Im wrong, or add any if you feel its missing):

    CI - DUMPSTER DIVER
    CI - #4 or WildRipper?
    Lost - V3 Rocket
    Lost - Sub Driver

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

    p.s: planning to keep the CI Semi Pro as step up for bigger/ better days..

    I think you should get the CI Cum Dumpster.

    Andres - my guess is nobody who is going to reply to your question has ever surfed what ever beachbreak in Portugal your now surfing. Fat mushy average waves on this side of the Atlantic are completely different than Portugal 's are. Ask the locals where you surf, or a local shaper.

    North, which is usualy fatter wave... but I still wanted the board to be decent all around for beach mushy for southern beach breaks here.

    Maybe the Lost - SS2 is a good option?

    Yep. I posted the specs a few treads ago. It's based on White Castle's mom. Wide in the tail, loose as crap and no need for wax cause it's always sticky. Problem is you have to wear a wetsuite at all times since the cum dumpster has been ridden by thousands of folks before you.

    mushy waves, I would not get the dumpster diver or the weirdo...however, the #4 is a good choice and the v3 rocket, tho the v2 stub would be the better choice for really fat waves...I have had the dd, wr and currently the v3. The v3 is one of the better designs I have ever had for the conditions you stated...never had the 4 or sd.

    My all time favorite, followed by a very close v3, is the vernor silver bullet...this board flat out rocks in weaker conditions...both the v3 and vernor does well in the bigger stuff. I can only comment on the boards I rode, all other models would be speculation, but I would lean towards a wider tail block for the mushier conditions..like the v3, v2 stub, #4, vernor, neckbeard, Iam sure there are many others with wider tail blocks...Decided to build my own version of the silver bullet because I just want to try something slightly thicker and shorter...gonna go 4" shorter and a 1/8" thicker...cant wait to start sculpting.
