I ride a JL striker 8'11 that I think would suit what you are looking for. It's 130 litres but the shape provides great glide. At your weight I wouldn't go bigger than 9 feet and 130-140l. Some

I've done a lot of googling but can't seem to find any proper resource for determining which size board for sup surfing.
I'm 86kgs just under 6' 60yrs old, pretty decent shape, surfed longboards all my life, wing foil etc & currently have a 10'6 x 32 170L which I'm paddling trying to get onto knee to waist high waves.
I find the 10'6 a bit of a struggle to turn to get into position to catch waves so wondering if a smaller board would assist.
What size board would you recommend for someone transitioning to sup surfing.
I'm not after performance so much, I'm all about the glide... Any help appreciated. I'd be looking at second hand boards at this stage.
I think a JL striker 8'11 might be worth a look. Plenty of glide. Does everything well but doesn't specialise in any particular area. As you drop in size over time you could still use it when it's small or high tide.
