Hi Bob and welcome. Look in the Seabreeze SUP For Sale section there are heaps of boards in there.
The type of board you buy can vary depending on what you want to do. I suggest you read through the old Forum pages and get familar with what others have asked and how they have beem answered. Also talk to other SUPpers about their gear, most shops are also happy to help and even offer demo boards.
If I was starting out I would look at something around 11' or 11'6" and 29 or so inches wide. There are lots to choose from and most of the name brands are great. good luck and have fun.

Hi, can anyone help me?
I'm new to SUP, and want to have it as an alternative to windsurfing in winter and to increase my fitness.
I am 59 years old, 75kg, and have no previous experience board-surfing but have windsurfed for several years.
Does anyone have any advice re second hand starter boards, and suitable locations?
I am looking for a surfing SUP board to use between say Caloundra and Coolangatta, as I am based in Brisbane.
Thanks!

Coolie is off limits sorry North Kirra and north perfect sup conditions
Nah welcome there's a heap of quality second hand gear around PM Lacey
he has a board for sale every second week

Haven't purchased a new SUP board for over two years mate

Bob, have you considered hiring a few boards first?
This way you will at least have a base idea of the style of board you will be looking at.
We are always here to help if you want to drop in to view some boards or for some advice.
