Sorry if this is a stupid question...

I want to get a prone board to give me some variety to my stand up race training. I’m trying to decide between a 12’ stock Bark Commander or a 10’6” club style board. I live in the U.S. so most people around here have 12’ – 14’ stock boards but I can’t help but think the 10’6” would be really fun to play around in the surf and downwind with and be a lot more convenient to store and transport.

I was just hoping to get some opinions from people who own or have paddled both. I don’t plan on doing any prone distance racing but there are a few short “in and out” surf races with beach runs that I’ve been eyeing up. My main goals with the board would be cross training, playing around in the waves and downwinding.

Thanks for your input!
