I would like to give SUP a go but as I live out in Geelong, SHQ etc are a bit far just to go try it out to see if I like it so here is my question:

Is it possible to use something like my 155l GO windsurf board to give me an idea of what SUP is all about or would I get the wrong impression totally?

I have never tried surfing but wouldnt mind being able to give small waves a go when there is no wind but also be able to paddle the flat water around where I live.

Thought i might place a report out there as Im one of the people to get the new construction PSH. Thanks to AA, i received my new 9'2 on Friday. Keen to get it in the water i drag my self down to lorn to test it out in the stormy weather. This board rocks, not only is it easy to throw it around off the tail in the pocket or off the lip, its also amazing to have the ability to get some tip time, and the best part it is now my easiest board for nose 360's. I cant fault this board it really is a great all rounder.

And in comparison to the 9'2 hand shape PSH, they fell very similar. The new construction is a little more boyant but looks fairly similar in the shape right through the board.

All up stocked with my red beast.
