Hi All,
As requested some comparison shots between the 2019 8'4 & 2017/18 8'6
I have not ridden the new 8'4 only the 7'10 but a few of my observations between the boards.
Apart from being shorter by 2" the rails have been thinned out, especially towards the tail. Also the tail has been pulled in, where the nose has been widened.
Biggest difference I found was that it is easier to get on the rail and turn the board for a lighter weight rider.

Hi Marco,
say to us something more about the Hyper Nut 7'10.... I have a great dilemma.

Great thanks for that Marco. Certainly looks like some well thought out changes on the new Hypernuts. The 8'6 is hands down the best all round board I've had and it looks like I might have to upgrade. Or maybe I'll keep my 8'6 and get a 7'10 to go with it. Demo trailer coming to Torquay in the next month or so?

Hi MickMc,
The Demo trailer is currently at the Zu in St Kilda but no plans for it to head down to Torquay unfortunately.
My understanding is that it is being picked up on the 18th from the Zu and then being stored for us for a period.
Unfortunately there is no 7'10, only the 8'4 in the trailer.
If it works for you, grab it from the Zu for a blast
Cheers,
Marco
