Thanks, I’ll try and borrow something on the lines you have suggested. Being a short arse I’ve never liked surfing long boards but take your point regarding sups

Thanks PottyMullet, that is really great feedback. Gives me the confidence to make the leap down on litres, particularly useful with West Oz power.

Opening up an old chestnut topic here to try and get the general concept through my thick nut.
I’m 67kg, 152cm height, 71yo, very surf fit, advanced prone surfer (ride short boards), intermediate sup rider as I’ve only been at it 18 months. It’s getting used to balance and catching waves that puts me intermediate, once riding the surfing bit is fine.
Went to sup because injury has killed my pop up.
presently riding a 7’11” x 106 litres Starboard Spice, goes great. Looking to go lower volume, shorter sup more surfboard style.
Reading a great 2018 thread on this site regarding volume the I took away that on equal board length, a lower volume sup is likely more stable than higher volume sup because the higher volume is corky. Have I got that right?
As I’m progressing the Spice is starting to feel too much volume. so am looking at dropping to 95 litres on a 7’0” custom with drop down rails. Aiming to get down to around 85 litres on a high performance sup for more powerful surf.

Am I on the right track.

Or... let us know if a problem, so we can tweak! 😅
