Okay so i currently have a Whopper which i have used a bit but really play with it more on holidays so i'm not great, yet

Last holidays my wife gave it a go for about 10 minutes and didn't fall but obviously it had a effect.

On Friday night out of the blue she announces that she'd enjoy doing a bit of paddling with me So my next question is what board

I'm 92 kilos and surf often. I have only tried my Whopper in the surf once and it felt a little weird. My wife is only 76 kilos but same height as me. So would i look at something a bit more suited for Paddling. Like maybe a Drive, 11 NSP chasing some suggestions please. I don't think she will ever surf it But what about something smaller in length, and maybe weight

I do think it will often just end up as a second board for me so not really chasing another whopper

If you're "really" looking for a surf type board for yourself that will still be nice & stable for your wife & you want to stick with Starboard, then maybe a 9'5 Widepoint. They surf great & for guys 90-100k & for someone your wifes size, would paddle well in flat water.

I'd also look at the 9'5 or 9'10 Hokua, or a PSH 9'11 or 10'6 Ripper.

There' plenty of threads on all of these in the forum.

Thanks will look them up. Wide point sounds good

I think i'm decided on a 10'5" Drive. Now just to find one second hand if that's possible

Or do i just buy something that is available, or bite the bullet and go new

Okay running out of time now as i need it by next week to go away. Nothing really second hand that Ive found but have looked (online only) at the NSP new model Element 2. They have a few different sizes and i can pick one up brand new with a paddle for under a grand.

Any ideas I'm thinking maybe the 10'6"or even the 11'

get a coreban cruiser. can surf longboard style, can paddle, well built. mega stable. mega fun
