Hey all, Seeking some advice as getting confused/spoiled for choice and trying to be realistic about my progression. Looking at downsizing from my Naish Mana 10' (my first SUP) for something a little livelier (and let's be honest - 4 years out of a board is justification for something new & shiny, and I'm a little in love with Sunova!).

The below is what I'm considering - I'm 6'2" at 100kgs, a decent flat-water paddler but only just starting to get back into the groove of riding waves on a SUP having prone surfed when younger. The Mana does the job just fine, but (again, being honest...) I just would like to get something new & reinvigorating, and have even got the go-ahead from my better half.

Query I'd have is this - I do spend a bit of time on flat water paddling & cruising with my better half, as well as waves when I get the opportunity, and want something that will be reasonable at both. It's a trade-off, I know. Catch is that I need to keep it to 10 foot or less due to storage constraints...

All the Sunova's (from reports) seem to have a general 'tippiness' due to fine rails, but can anyone provide info on which of the below would best suit those parameters and my general situation?

If I'm being honest with myself, I'd imagine the Flow and the Speeed might be a bit of a handful for me - I don't want to be spending most of energy trying to stay upright and they seem to be more performance-oriented than I need (or would ever fully utilise!)

Very keen on all reviews of the Steeze as a 'one board quiver' but can't seem to find a demo anywhere near me in Brissy or on the Gold Coast. SurfFX have a great variety of Sunova in demo but I'm told the Steeze would be a special order. Any advice would be appreciated!!
