G'day crew,

I will be returning to live in Perth around the middle of the year and am keen to get into SUPping, Surfed all my life and currently ride a 6'6" fish (self built hollow timber board) and a long board, also kitesurf (but not for a couple of years)

I after advice on what board to get to learn on and for DW and surfing Perth metro area (will be living in trigg) I am 6'2" and ~120kgs after a couple of good years on NZ beer... My fighting weight is 105 to 110kgs. One long term goal is to do the doctor next year and other races

I would like to get a board to start off on over here in NZ then ship it home. I will probably end up building a surf orientated hollow woodie and probably a couple more knowing me...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere I have spent a bit of time reading the old posts and on the search button.

cheers

Shane
