Hey everyone, i am finding myself enjoying sup surfing a lot lately. I currently have an SIC Recon 11'11"x 31"and enjoy it very much. Yesterday i was out in some 4-7' footers on Lake Michigan and had a blast! But as i was riding a few waves i began to wonder if i could go a bit shorter in board length, but also a bit wider. The Naish Mana GS - 10'x33" looks good to me. Do you think the shorter length and added width with be as stable as the SIC Recon? I enjoy the recon because i also use it on flat water with my kids, or if i take someone along to learn SUP. If i got the Mana, i would use it primarily for SUP surfing. I'd like to go shorter in an SIC, but they lack the volume i feel that i need.

I am 6'4" tall and 225lbs.

Thanks for the input.

Yep ,your on it.
the mana is very good because of that reason .. A 10 footer @190 litres
and 33' wide makes it a breeze to surf ..It was my number one board,and learnt so much on that board
before selling it to buy smaller . i only went to a 170 litre .Hokua .you would be happy with it .Its a big mans wave board
its also very good to paddle around ... go for it
