hi mate
both boards would be good for you for paddling, but if you want to surf they would be okay but are both very high in volume for someone your weight,, most people will tell you that there are better boards for what you want, the easiest way and you may hear this alot is to demo demo demo, just demo as many boards as you can until you find something that suits your needs

I am the worlds biggest starboard fan but based on your size and requirements you need to try the 10ft nsp. It is a fantastic paddling board and surfs very very well. In my opinion at your weight it is far superior to both your choices for paddling/surfing/price. The 10ft nsp is probably the most under-rated sup on the market.

From what i understand about the coco mat boards they are stronger and lighter than the starboard, the 10'0 looks like a good design and you will save some money to put towards a good paddle.

The Coco Mat boards are the same design but much much lighter than the standard models.

I would agree as DJ has said that the finish of the standard NSP is more geared towards durability than the Starboard but the Coco Mat boards are constructed very differently, they are actually stronger and lighter. Usually weight is sacrificed for strength.

Hi Eric I have owned a 10'5 Widepoint for the past 12 months or so and found it to be a great allrounder, mine is the AST Silver, although i am just over 100kgs i found it to surf better than i thought it would for a big board with fairly high voulme, weight and durability is good, i am now on a 9'5 widepoint which surfs a lot better again but obviously not as good for cruising.Never been on a NSP however i have heard positive reports about them, as others said starby is more surf orientated shape.

Cheers hope this helps.
