Looking for some advice on SUP that can take sail
Hi
i am looking for a light/no wind alternative to windsurfing
I live close by moreton bay so am looking for a water toy to make the most of this.
The bays seems to be either 0 knots and glassy (ideal for SUP), 10 knots and choppy (probaley ok for SUP and small sail) or 15-20 and time for a shortboard (windsurf)
I have been windsurfing for 20 plus years so the abilty to put a sail (max 5.5 or 6.0 wave) on it would be nice, i am not expecting raceboard perfomance just something to practice sail tricks, cruise around etc etc
However the board also needs to be good for paddling - no waves (Brissy) but if i get the chane it may taken to suitable spots - so predominatly flat water paddling
The boards i am looking at (limited by local dealers) are the Naish 11'6" (too big/fragile ?) ,Naish 11'4" (fragile ?), Bic Jungle (too heavy ?), Mistral Pacifico (probaley 2nd hand), also fanatic SUPs (no info)
Are the naish too fragile to windsurf ?, is the jungle tougher ? etc
any help and opinions gratefully received
many thanks
Max
