Open ocean /flat water
12,6 boards vs 14 ? I'm unsure what width
I'm looking at one for myself and am thinking of
JP
Fanatic
Lots of variables to consider. Where are you going to paddle? Flatwater or Ocean. Wind or not. Your ability. Your stability and balance. Weight? Height? Type of paddling you've been doing. Both JP and Fanatic have great boards and their flatwater boards differ greatly from their race or ocean boards., However, before anyone can offer suggestions they'll probably need a little bit more info.
