Fellow SUPers.

What do think would be a better all round SUP board. The Coreban ICON or the Oxbow Scout 10'4.

I'm new to the sport and have tried the scout and a few others however i see that the ICON may be a better surfer than the Scout. I'm pretty open to suggestions. I'm likely to do about 50% crusing and 50% surfing.
I weigh around 94 kgs if this helps.

Cheers,

If you can afford the icon then I would go that way without doubt. The coreban is a fantastic board and will suit your requirements to a tee. Have you tried both boards ?

As for waterhorses post - fully agree. If its really a 50/50 mix you want then the starboard 10.5 drive is a better board than both the oxbow and coreban.

For me the Icon is a keeper.

I wasted my time and money trying to start with a board that dose it all.

You could start with something like the Icon that surfs really well and paddles ok, and pick up a distance or DW board later.

HI.the 10.5widepoint is going to be a best seller in the starboard stable out doing the element/drive/whopper. it has well hidden volume and can rip.
