Hi all! There's a total lack of anyone local who sup surfs and I'm in desperate need of some help!

I've been surfing (2-3ft waves) on a borrowed Starboard Atlas. Got the bug. I've seen the new 2017 range and I'm traumatised about what board. I'm 100kg in my wettie and I'm looking at the Whopper or Wide point. But what size? We don't have massive waves here but it's very choppy to get out.

Don't need anything that can do much distance - I've got an NSP Tour for that but a couple of our breaks are a couple of k from where I can launch.

Can some sup surfers help please?!

Thank Zeusman! My problem is I live in Guernsey - a little offshore island - lots of sea to play in but no local shops. I'd actually have to get a plane to the nearest one!

I'll be taking a bit of a gamble so I may well play it super safe and got for a longer Whopper. The starlight looks nice....

hey mike ..I'm like you ,unable to try boards ,
I took a punt on a naish 170 litre x 32 hokua ,rated for 109kg dude
best thing I ever done I'm 96 kg .
Its a great wave board with performance to burn.

Me thinks Sunova Speeed 9'2 would be ideal for everything you say, you can paddle them distance, will float you fine, I'm a little over 100 kgs dry and I have an 8'10 but i wouldn't want to paddle it 2 kms


PS - I know nothing about staboards, never like the whopper when i was downsizing from the Avanti many moons ago

Well done to you sir!
