I am planning my first trip OS surfing this year. Actually there will be 2 trips.

1. Fiji in June for a work conference. I am then going to add some surfing time on the end.

2. Probably Maldives or Sumatra in October. Just about to lock this one down thru a surf travel co.

Being my first time, I'm not sure what to expect but want to upgrade the SUP for a 1 board for all quiver. Anybody had any experience/recommendation with this. I would like to stay 9'6 to 10ft and close to 30 wide to cover all conditions.

I am currently 93 kgs and on a 9'3 C4 Subvector for really nice conditions and a Naish 10ft Mana for chop. Not sure if the C4 is the right board with a very flat rocker and a bit tippy in chop or surges.

So far I am thinking Coreban Icon or maybe one of the JL boards or even going custom. Suggestions welcome.

MY 2c..........................
Haven't surfed those places but jost got back from 10 days in Bali suping at Sanur. Took my Coreban Icon with me and it was outstanding in all the conditions. windy, glassy, fat slower waves and faster waves. Also nice in waist high to overhead + waves
I weigh 100kg and had it set up as a thruster but as a quad it flies!!

The person to speak to about the JL boards would be Jankie from kitesurf Bali. He's rides them in all conditions and can give you some advice on which one if you PM him - or if he's hanging around on the forum.....

Who are you flying with? We flew airasia and for $20 per board it was excellent. Took the 10' Icon and a 9'5" Mana. one thing to be mindfull of with the Icon is with a travel cover it comes in just uner the 15kg mark - great solid board though.

Hey blowup - just PM'd you so I don't threadjack.

did you turkish take 2 boards yourself ,or your partner took one too. the paddle cope alright

I'm here guys....

Not sure what to say...
If you already have a 9'3 why would you like to change!!!
All of those places should have good conditions..

I'm very happy with my JL Mano 9'0 but I'm only 70 kilos and now got a JL stiker 8'11 for my every day waist high paddling.

If you have a chance try the 9'4 Mano...
Bye Jankie
