Hello,

I'm new into this and interested in fitness rather than racing. I think I'm interested in downwinding but plan to use it out the back at fairly sheltered beaches initially (some chop but I won't be trying to surf). I'm about 100kg so at the heavy end of SUPpers.

I was initially interested in the Fanatic Falcon 14' HRS but now I'm ready to buy the new models are only in Carbon and above my budget. I have three questions:

1. The Naish GS is quite a bit cheaper than the GTW. How much difference does the weight make if you are using for fitness rather than racing?

2. Do I need the extra 34L of volume for the 30" Glide vs the 29" Glide as a heavier guy?

3. Finally from looking online two other boards that looked interesting were the SIC F14 and X14 (not the Pro version). Would you recommend either of these over the Naish Glide? If so do you know anyone who sells these in Sydney (or Australia and will ship)?

Thanks, Tim
