Hi Guys
Experienced kiter and new to SUP and have come across 10'6" and 11'2" Supco boards on ebay for $599....seems pretty good deal but ive no idea.
I am around 6'2" and 88-90 kgs and am looking for something for flat water and small waves mostly but hope to eventually get up to around 4' waves as i have moved closed to ocean beaches on Sunshine Coast.
Just seems like a good deal is all...
Cheers

Like most things, you get what you pay for. hit up your local stores and demo some gear.

I'm thinking of getting one as well. The Supco website shows a pricetag of $1000+Us and online searching provides some reviews and indicates that the brand is sold through a number of US shops.
My only issue/concern is that the construction blurb says 3 layers of 6oz yet the construction graphics shows only 2 layers of 4oz.
I don't know what a typical layup for a "reputable" brand is.
Re-post and let us know what you think if you get one.
Cheers

I bought one. I was after a stable recreational cruiser for the family. Flatwater and river runs. I figure that it should gt a bit of use before it ends up in th garage with the other toys and I should be able to recoup most of the cost given the current prices on ebay, gumtree and here.
They are in store ( sidways surf) so you can at least have a look before you buy.
