Hi Indo, I have the 10'6" wide AR and love it. My previous board was the 11'6" Kalama which I rode for abt 9 months. The 10'6" paddles almost as good as the Kalama and surfs really well. Top of my wish list now is the PSH 9'6" wide ripper, 6 more months down the track. RobDog

Hey Robdog, how does the AR Wide handle when it gets a bit sucky? We have pretty powerfull waves over here.

That photo on your profile is of Gnaraloo isn't it.

Hey Indo I have a starboard 11'2 and have just got a 9'8 that i havent even got wet yet .If you want to catch up and give them both a go sometime let us know. I have a spare paddle also.

Indo
10'6" wide AR no problems in sucky waves. All the psh are designed in Hawaii so I figure they will handle most Aussie waves. If you are young and have good balance I would consider the 10'6" psh All Rounder (rather than the wide) one of Blane Chamber's favourite boards. I turn 60 next week so I opted for the wide 10'6" to have a touch more stability paddling around. I weigh 80kg, trimmed 5kg since started sup. Photo on profile is of my son surfing around home.

Yeah should be good for sat pm, only problem being the breeze.
Whats the banks like down at Secret harbour at the moment?

Whoops, still catching onto the lingo.. will be in contact

7S Uber Fish goes off.I ride it as a quad very responsive and fun to ride.Gets a bit tippy as a quad when a bit of bump or wind picks up .About to try it as a thruster set up to se if that makes it more stable in the rougher conditions.
I started on 11'6 timpone and than onto 10'10 walden( a great allrounder as well ). Went to the Uberfish to see how small I could ride.Still in learning mode but loving it.

All right everyone, let's open it up.

For a 40year old life long surfer/sailer/kiter who weighs in at a pretty fit 100kg, what would be the best SUP for me to buy? I don't mind doing it a bit tough to start with as I'm sure one board only means a bit of a compromise, but I want a board that's easy to learn on but will still ride waves. I've always been a fan of Naish and Star Boards for wave sailing.

I'd like to convert this to US dollars and say its worth 34.8 cents.
