Currently ride a great 9'7" by 29" sup - great for surfing - but as I spend 80% of my surf actually paddling and waiting for waves the slightly tippy nature of this great surf sup has worn me down, when I am not on a wave. The board is 145lt.

Is any one riding the 9'6" by 31" JP surf -- 2" WIDER = more stable? It's roughly same lts Is good for paddling between beach bks? That might mean a kilometer or so paddle up and then back surfing different breaks

any other suggestions -- around 9'3" to 9'7" greater than 30" wide around 140 - 150 litres

Steve you could try the Starboard 9'5 widepoint. I posted a review on it here on about the 9th July and I think the board could suit you

+1 for trying the JP wide body............I stood up on one last weekend..........which is saying something (the fact that all bar the nose was underwater was also indicating i wasnt going to get many waves - so i promptly swam away)

A couple of mates have them and they are pretty happy
