Hi
I am heading to sumatra for a couple of months and just trying to work out what to take, I currently have a 6'2 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 round square and a 5'11 js revolution. I am looking at buying a step up round tail to take but will also work well down the bells/winki scene during the winter. Basically asking for recommendations of what to buy and if I should take the 6'2 or 5'11 as my other option?
Cheers

Where in Sumatra are you headed? are you travelling to a few different areas?
There is a big difference between what id take to the banyaks and what id take to lampung or ments.

Agree to a point with Groundswell.

IMO just make sure you take the board you ride everyday that you love, those two boards sound fine and could get you by on 90% of days and a bit longer board if you really want to charge will help.
