Greetings,

I about to buy a Fanatic Prowave 2013 8'10. I have been SUPing for two years on a Paddle Surf Hawaii beginner's board from a surfing background. I am 36, 6'0 foot and weigh 91 kilograms. I surf on the Northern beaches of Sydney. Can I please have your views on the following:

1. On making the transition to a performance board should I go for the 9'3 option to get some additional volume to assist the transition (despite the 8'10 being apparently appropriate). I am worried as my existing board is very stable.
2. I see the board can be used for windsurfing. I have never done it before but very interested in giving it a go. Any views on the Fanatic Ride Rig or do you suggest another option. Secondly, any tips on how best to get into it?
