Shorter boards for flatwater paddling
I currently have an inflatable Starboard Converse 9ft inflatable ( 9ft 170l , 30 Wide, minimal rocker) and would like to get a hard board for when I don't need to travel long distance and yet is still manageable and can fit in my SUV. Still prefer having something for flat water paddling . Would like it to be no more than 9ft 4 but less and probably no
wider than 31 (max 32). Don't want much rocker as I want maximum length in the water for better tracking. Boards I am considering are:

naish mana 8'10 ( 32 ) 133 L
(9'5 might be too long)

Starboard converse 9:0 (30) 142L

Fanatic allwave 9'0 (32) 159 L

Jp fusion 8'5 (30)

Sunova Surf 9'5 might be just too long (32) 160L

Waterborne Evoke 9'2 (32) 148L

Based in above I am thinking fanatic allwave as litres drop from current board is not too much . It also has fairly parallel sides for better tracking

What about Rocker ? Which if the above would be most suitable (ie minimal rocker)

32 wide worries me a bit due to my height and straighter paddling

Note i am less than 65kg and about 5 foot 4. These boards are like longer boards for me !
