Hi All

I am new to SUP. I have demoed a Fly which I enjoyed heaps. I started to take it out in the surf but haven't had the time to demo further. Where I currently live it is difficult to demo boards. This will change in July when I move back to the coast. My background is as a sea kayaker. I can also wake board and ski but have never put my hand to surfing. I want to give it a red hot go and will work hard to getting there. I have been looking for ex demo boards and have found reasonable prices on a Fanatic Fly 10, Naish Mana 10 and Coreban Rocket 10,6. I am 176cm @ 83kg. Aside from working my way to being a proficient surfer I want something I can throw my toddlers on and paddle in flat water on occasion. All advice appreciated.

Mickeyb,
If your looking at boards in the 10' range, try the coreban Icon. Probably a little easier to surf on than the 10'6 and will float your 80od kg's with no drama.
