I may get flogged for this but the 11'2 Drive from starboard, it was a great SUP and a rocking little windsurfer. I used it for both things for about 14 months and progressed onto a 9'5 wide point from starboard as well. The fanatic is also a good choice. Once again prepared for the flogging but I like both.

Disclaimer: Due to my poor performance as a surfer and SUPer I am not sponsored nor do I receive any benefits from Starboard for this advice. Although I would be open to it if they were in a generous mood

Most starboards have windsurfing attachment point (or whatever its called). I know people that have surfed/sailed/rated the 9.8 element/10.5 drive/11.2 blend and I think the big easy. As already stated the 11.2 is an absolute gem of a sup board and can't rate it highly enough as an allrounder for sup/windsurf.

Try and pick up an old 12' Glide.

Premo, Drop down to the Windforce / Stand Up Paddle Sports SUP and Windsurf rental / school at pelican point on the river and take out a range of sail able SUPs, either paddling or sailing.

All of the Silver Starboards (apart from the small wave boards) have mast base inserts.
