I demo'd four boards including Smik, Starboard x 2 and Sunova in the search for surf sup. They were all good, but for me there was one stand out for my skill level and suited my style.

The Sunova Flow (8' 7")... whilst I think I could have gone a bit smaller for the glassy days it catches waves like a dream, is stable in the chop and I'm able to chuck it around with ease. It also paddles really well. The slightly bigger size means I can still enjoy less than perfect conditions.

in summary, it's a great board! I think I'll save up for the smaller board next.

Thanks to advice on this forum, I think I spent my money wisely. So thanks!

put some nice medium to large quads like the shaper s6 in the flow and it loosens up the tail and livens up the board more I love my 8'7..

Great to hear more about the flow
