Hello,

I'm new to SUP.

I am wanting to buy 2 boards approx 10" to 10"6 x 30, one for me and one for my fiancé.
We would prefer a wooden finish.

Could anyone recommend any fantastic brands or shapes I should look at getting for an intermediate level?

I would mainly ride it in calm conditions but my fiancé would be more adventurous and surf with his.

We are in sydney, bondi and would mainly use it down here.

Thanks in advance!

Cheerful regards,
Blair

My friend has got a naish 10' mana (chosen coz DJ loved them so)
They don't look pretty & have fat rails
Okay for splashing around on but go the more "surfy" naish
Have ridden the 11'4 Nalu a few times very cruisy
& i even ride a 9'10

If you're looking at 10'6ish, then I'd recomend the Naish 10'6.5" Nalu. Great cruiser, fanastic in the surf & very nice bamboo construction.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for your helpful comments!

We found some boards and are super excited to have our own and start paddling when ever we want to!

Look forward to seeing you all out on the water! :)

Cheerfully,
Blair
