G’day all,
The last thread I posted was about learning the art of SUP surfing.
With the help from a few of you guys and the local surfers around here, I’m starting to get the hang of it.
I’m the first to acknowledge that I’ve got a long way to go, but I would like to know what to look out for in a shorter board for waves.
I actually T- Boned a guy on a goat boat Sat morning because I couldn’t turn it quicker enough to get out of his way. In the end, I reckon it was due to my skill level and nothing to do with the board, but I guess a shorter board would be more manoeuvrable.

I’m very happy with my Starboard 12’6”. Even though it’s a hand full in bigger waves, I will be keeping it for those smaller days

Is there a beast out there that is shorter but still has the width and similar volume of the 12’ 6” starie?
I’m an old fart, so I’m not after a super quick turning board, I’m hoping for user friendly type of board.

Also any feed back on the Starie Blend would also be appreciated?

yeahthe sb 9'8 fish might be the go for you...it's very stable just like the rest of the SB's at 30"....but easier to turn and manage in the surf....it's probably got about 50l or so less vol...but unless your well over 100kg's - all your going to notice is that the sweet spot is smaller and mabye a bit of H20 splashin over your feet.

if u get one make sure u pop the fcs thrusters in at first.
