Good Morning...

I've been lurking in the background here for a while, and really enjoyed all the info that everyone posts. I hope I can get some input into my new purchase.

I'm looking to upgrade my current board. I live in Sydney so about 40% of my time is spent padding around the harbour, which is mostly flatish, and 60% in the waves.

I'm 6'6'' and weight 100kg, so need something that will keep me afloat.

Really keen on the Naish 10'6.5, but I think I may be too heavy for it...

Could the group suggest some boards please?

Thanks
Chris

I'm 6'4" and 95kg.. and my 10'6".5 Nalu is plenty floaty for me.. The 10'10" Nalu is also an excellent board with more stability and float.. also paddles flat water better but the 10'6".5 surfs better.

Thanks DJ

Any thoughts of the Mana 10'? What's it like in Surf and Flat water?

Cheers

Cant go past the adventurer 11.2 for you. Proven paddler at bop and in waves around Sydney. True alrounder without the width problems.
