Hey all,

Looking at getting my first SUP and i have no idea where to start with weights lengths etc.

Im 189cm and in the high 90kgs mark, fairly good balance as i surf too but dont want anything too hard to stay up on.
Any help would be appreciated cheers!

Are you looking at flatwater or surfing?

Definitely a bit of both, however i doubt id be surfing anything big.

Gday all,

Same deal as the original post!

I am about 55kg, 170cm female that wants to purchase a board for flat and small wave supping.
Any advice would be welcome.

Due to the nature of my job I am quite fit and strong (not blowing smoke out my bum here ha ha) so I do have a bit of strength in my small frame.

Cheers
Sam

Thanks Coastie!
Size wise I'm
Looking at the 10' 6.
Anyone think that'll be too long ?
Possibly the Fanatic Fly all round hrs

The 10' Laird Hybrid and Surfers are nice refined boards, which.are great in small waves. The.Hybrid paddles well on flawater. For a fit lady I would not go any bigger. If anything, it will.get clumsy carrying it around.

Big Huey could obviously afford to go longer by at least six inches or more. 11' would be a good target for a first board.

Most other manufacturers also make longboard shaped boards that the hold their width in the tail and nose with nice even bottom curves. They are great to paddle and fun to surf! There are tons of threads about the same

At your weight something like the 10'6'' Nalu would be an excellent choice for your first board.. It's a great do-it-all board.

And there's the 10'6" Alana which is the same board but with 'girly' graphics
