Hi guys,

Looking to get a SUP for fitness and some downwinders in the bay. Being able to use it in small surf occasionally would be great too... I'm 6ft 70kg. Looking at a few models second hand:

Fanatic Falcon Carbon 27.25"
SIC Bullet SCC 28.25"
Naish Javelin GX 28"

There are many 2014 Falcons available second hand for around the $1400 mark yet the Naish and SIC (rare) seem to go for over $2k. Anyone know why there's such a difference in price as they are similar cost new?

Are the Falcons a good DW board choice for the bay?

thanks!

27.25" wide!?! Seems pretty tippy - but I am a complete noob. How wide is yours DJ?

Hey crustacean you should talk to Warwick at KiteRepublic St Kilda because he knows that board very well and done many downwinders on it.
