i recently bought 2 boards in january naish 10'6 and11'6 and been riding the big bitch to get the hang of the whole sup thing.
got a few good sessions at back beach point 5 to 6 foot lefts it seams to be easier to ride bigger waves more room to move.
in the last couple of days when it has been clean i rode the 10'6 a little bit wobblerly but makes up for it once you stroke into a wave.
totally lovin it
if the surfs fat i'll sup
if its windy i'll kite
if its pumpin i'll short board it
only if i can't paddle the sup out through the line up
hahaha
bring on the swell
