i am looking for a longboard sup and ideally i would like 9 6,( i know the sunova style is there and it gets a great review)

i don't want 10 as it is too long for me.

i have paddled the 9 1 fanatic on pristine flat water and it seems fine and i am thinking it would do what i need, has anyone ridden one yet, they are a new addition to Fanatic range

the other option would be laird 9 surfer

can you have a long board that is too short ? i am 80 kgs inetrmediate
