Hello guys,

I started sup in september 2013, and I bought myself a Naish glide GX 2014 two months ago.
I weight 85 kgs, 1.83m tall. I'm looking for a flatwater SUP Race. I would like to find a board who could suit my need for speed, more challenging than the uber stable glide 29 inches wide.
I usually paddle in a bay where I can join the open ocean in 15 minutes, or stay in the lagoon for several hours, so usually I got a lot of side winds and upwinds.
I want to get a board who could provide me an easy feeling of speed and a good slicing water shape. I would like to get a board who doesn't hit the chop too much when you're doing a lot of sup upwind or sidewind.


I can find the following boards in my usual stores:
Naish javelin LE X26
F-one Race Pro 14 x 26
JP Australia race allwater 14 x 26.5 2014
Starboard ACE or Allstar 25 or 26" x 14' 2014
SIC X14 PRO x 26
Fanatic ?

Thx for your help.

I would have thought the GX you have would suffice based on what you have described...
