I know we all gratefull for whatever waves come our way, but do you have a prefered wave size you like to ride on you SUB?

I prefer from about 3' to about head high.

I haven't done it yet but I'm looking forward to something about mast high.. A right hander.. crumbling from the top.. and that goes on and on..

Where do I put my order in?

A trip to Hawaii would do the trick!

the same - shortboard or sup. i find that a good size for maneuvers.

I would just like a wave around here

This size and above

Well DJ I would say that someone has already put an order in for ya and its getting close to service time. Dust off the Rhino chaser and start doing some breathing exercises!

Make sure you take some pics for us and stay safe!!!!!! Looks a little big for my liking but I guess that means some of those more sheltered options become very very tasty.

Depends on the type of break it is. Been loving the SUP on bigger waves (double overhead +) but that size on a mean barrelling wave would be pretty intense. We are pretty lucky in Sydney cause in a good year like this one we get plenty of decent swells with favourable wind and SUP opens up the opportunity to surf waves I wouldn't bother with on a normal board.

Steep or Fat or sucky or Fat , macking or not , Big or small ill surf em all.

Any size will do - best just to be out there. Ideally though decent sized left at Yallingup is the go for me.

Sometimes the company of good looking others helps

lacey's lane today is a good size, coming through on the lower tide very nicely. crowd wasn't good- lots of dropins

When Bnaccas says the waves are double overhead which really means 3 to 4ft,
its all good then,
Camo.

Brendan Knows the correct call on wave height

Head high is easy to measure cos it's from the front.
I'm a short arse but head high on me is getting close to 3ft.

3ft is fun cos you can let loose and the consequences aren't so bad, but there is nothing
better than dropping in and racing along a good sized 5 or 6ft'er. You don't need to manufacture
speed and you can really draw some nice lines! Thats what it's about!

Still dreaming..

any size is good. I like from waist to head high the best, as it's really where SUP does it's thing. Unless it's a special wave I'd probably rather be out on my shortboard in bigger surf. I really like snappy aggressive SUP, and they don't really like that in big surf. however..... If it is a special wave that is big but uncatchable on a shortboard, then it becomes interesting to take on with SUP. I like to be able to pick my tool to suit the day! When on tour I will altimately travel with a 8'10" SUP, 10' Sup, 11m Kite, 14m Kite, 2 x Kite wave boards, 1 x Poleboarding rig, 6'5" Shortboard, 6'2" Fish, 9'1" Longboard and a case or two of beer. Can't really get caught out!
