For flat water, what would be the speed difference between a large surf SUP (11'6" -12') and a DW board?
Further, how would they compare into head wind?

Equal paddlers on both. (I would be in the background after falling off in their wake

if a 12'6 dw board can't comfortably beat a surfing sup it isn't worth getting.

not these days anyway. even some of the older 12'6 6 wouldn't cut the mustard now

12'6 development has been the big mover in recent times
cheers
