Hey everyone, what are your thoughts on 11' nsp epoxy ? 127kg getting back in water from a shoulder reconstruction, or am I wasting my $700

That or a Walden Mega Magic. The mega has big volume and that's what I'm assuming you're after.

My last trip to Hawaii, I spent quite a bit of time on an 11' NSP. Will catch anything - but if one was ever to use the term 'barge' to describe a surfboard, it'd be in relation to the 11' NSP.
My 12' Munoz is a tonne easier to control/turn than the 11' NSP.
The 11' Munoz is sensational (also hired one in hawaii), but if you can find one any where near $700, lemme know.
My son has a 9' Walden Mega Magic - tonnes of volume, 90+ litres. His is the GSI PU version. At least I think it's PU. Looks like PU. Build quality on his is garbage. If looking at the Waldens, I'd go with the surftech build.
They also do a 9'6" that's pushing 120+ litres.
To consider, coming out of shoulder reconstruction, the 11' NSP is a PITA to carry around.
Also, what's the long term plans? Moving to something smaller as the shoulder improves?
If so, and you think you can carry the 11' NSP, then $700 isn't too bad. If you were to unload it, you probably won't lose too much on it.
How keen are you to get back in the water? You could be waiting a while to get something better, yet appropriate, in that price range. If the NSP is available now....?
