It seems like I need a singles rig for most of the surf entries I do. I don’t have training on doubles, so correct me if I’m wrong, but they don’t seem well suited for strong surf.
A doubles rig (D80's /D12s or similar) will almost certainly be preferable to a single/stage for shore entries. Even when correctly set up a stage will move around far more than the 2nd cylinder on your back.
If you're struggling with wieght etc a single (without a stage) may be easier than a set of doubles, but as soon as you know you want to take two cylinders, a set of doubles is by far the best way to do it.
