I am 6' and 104kg.

I have been surfing since i was 10 - although my fitness and time have seen my focus shift to mainly surfing with my 2 boys (9 and 11). We surf through summer and the about every 2nd or 3rd weekend through winter. About as much as the kids sport permits.

I bought a 10' Mctavish - surfs well but I am exhausted after 45min as I am constantly balancing it. I then bought a 10'6*35' board second hand - great fun, stable and with a double concave holds a wave and I can stay out for 2 - 3 hours.

I am keen to get a board that has more stability than the Mctavish but enables me to extend my surfing. Even after a year of the bigger board I still find the Mctavish hard work so I use the 10'6 90% of the time.

I have been looking at the Naish 11'6 Nala but am interesting in any advice I can get.

All comments will be much apreciated.
