I got a M ripper (middle weight range) and a good ole trusty spud.

I have a lot of trouble getting the ripper up and really want to get into some slice action. At the same time the ripper is my creeker and i have an absolute blast in it, but also dont get the best fit in it (fit is pretty solid now but could be more comfortable) and cant really play much.

I know if i get a small itll be better, but then im sure i wont want to be stepping up with it very often and wont be very safe. i dont want it to be too rowdy for creeking might as well take the playboat.

Should i....

1) keep the M ripper and keep it for class 4 creeking/accept the lack of play and buy an old school slice for reckless verticality

Or

2) obtain a small ripper and throw some extra spice and slice in my comfort zone and get a full on creeker.

OR OR

3) buy a small ripper, an old skool slice, and a creek boat

Keep in mind im transitioning to class 4 so class 5 is irrelevant for a long time

SE

Bonus: should i just load up ny stern with box wine and rock of rivers
