wondering if anyone's taken a 12"6 waterman switchblade or similar boards out in little surf and found it...ok...?
seems to be a lot of them about 'on sale' at the moment for a grand or so....is this cos they're crap?

i'm an 'intermediate' weekend sup idler......unlikely to ever take a sup out in anything over 2 foot, otherwise I'll just surf, but looking for a board that i can tour flat water at a decent pace also. no, obviously nothings gonna meet both those needs perfectly...but this boards specs seem to suggest good width which might make them sweet for some cruisy small wave straight line stuff, no doubt with more spills compared to a surf specific 9foot tri-fin

I'm only 72kegs, look and feel like a drowned rat on a 14footer, so again thinkin a 12'6 is right on the money for my needs. first post on forum so apols if i'm in the wrong spot. cheers
