Hi all - first post

Looking for some advice on the first SUP...mainly for waves but don't want to rule out a little coastal paddle if no swell. I'm a bit of over 90kgs, surf a longboard/midlengths but would like to try my hand at a SUP. Not much chance to demo boards where I am so will probably need to take a chance on the first SUP.

Looking at a Whopper, Fanatic allwave 9ft 6, Mana 9.5 or Widepoint 9.5 or maybe a 9ft 8 Element?

Any views very welcome. I hope to get a board that will keep me going well for a good while....very frustrating when you get a board that is great right away but then you reckon after a few months it is holding you back....wonder if the Whopper might be in that category. Thanks all.
