Might be a perfect question for DJ.
I am looking for a LongSUP for some relaxed surfing in small but not lined-up groomed swell (Tofino - West Coast of Canada or wind/storm swell) taking the time to enjoy it all. I am not into anything going fast and crazy but rather to transition from down-winding board to surf board and take smaller bumps early and from as far as possible away from the crowds looking for the big bumps. The Nalu seems to have an impeccable reputation and be a classic. i would never reach the mastery of DJ even if I had all the time to practice, nor can I get into the perfect place he shoots his video in so need a board that will help me rather than make life difficult.
I have tried a 10' by 30" 147L supsurf and feel that it was not the kind of board for me. A long board style looks a lot more like my cup of tea and stability over speed sounds good even if they sometime go together. I was thinking that the 11' would be the best choice but should I discount the 11'4"? I am 77kg/170 lbs and 6'.
Cheers.
