Hi All,

I'm interested in getting a SUP Board, it looks like too much fun to be missing out on. I'm a total newbie to the sport and have been searching a few forums and looking at some boards, I really like the look of the Naish boards and they seem to keep their resale value so i'm tossing up whether I should get a Naish 11'4 or 11'6 to start off on.

I weigh around 95kg and am 6ft tall. I would like to use the board on both flatwater and eventually surf. I was initially drawn to the volume of the 11'6 and thought this seems like a good board to start out on. Since then I have spoken to a couple of people who reckon the 11'4 will have more longevity for me and that the 11'6 is an out of date design.

How much more of a learning curve is there with an 11'4 over an 11'6.

Cheers,
Dan
