Hi seabreezers,

Im in the market for my first board, I live in a regional area (Albany) so I'm not able to demo boards. I'm 180cm 78-82kg and after a all round board, flat water paddling/touring and I'd like to progress into wave riding and maybe do some fishing. I have had my eye on the 2015 naish nalu gts, intrigued by the fact they can take a sail.

the range appears quite different, especially the 10'10 board
which board would give me the best blend of flatwater glide & stability while still being a reasonable surfer?

Go the 10'6" if you're set on naish. I've had a 10'10" and although it will surf a decent size wave, the channels make it a pretty straight shooter. Great for flat water though; you can put the whole family on it! [8D
