Hi there, first poster, long time reader.
Anyway i've been Supping for a year and own a Surftec Balboa 10'6", the board goes great on flat water and small surf 3-4ft, but i'm finding its limits now when surfing and want a more surf specific board. Living on the Mornington peninsula i know that Phill Trigger is a SUP convert and sells them, my question is what brand size would you recommend for me ?
I'm 6ft, 86kg, fit and been surfing for 35yrs.
Thinking around 8'10"- 9'6" size board.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome.. I know Phil and he would probably recomend something around 8'10"..

I would recomend something around 9'6".. Something like the Naish 9'5" Mana..

Thanks mate, i have watched your footage of the new board, looks great, i'll check some out in the near future, who's got the best range of Naish boards around Melbourne, Morno peninsula ?
Cheers

I think all surf/sup shops sell Naish.. Pretty sure Plill sells them and I'm sure he will do you a good deal..

I've met a couple of guys at the Pines that have recently got new 9'5" Mana's and they're stoked.. You can't go wrong with that board.

It may seem a little wide and unessesarry stable at first but once you start going out to Big Left you'll appreciate the extra stability..

You could call RPS.. SHQ.. and the Zu.. to see if any have demo that you can try..
