Heading to Fiji in a couple of weeks (first time SUP surfing overseas) and would like to ask the team regarding what board to take.
I have a choice between my Starboard 8'5" Pocket Rocket or a Hobie 7'11". The SB is much more stable in the chop and surfs pretty good for a big board in all different types of conditions. The Hobie is not so good in the chop however could handle larger more hollow waves.
I can only take one so would appreciate your thoughts.
Just home on monday from beachouse - had a great time - arrived the day after piros and crew left ---- but -- dogman stayed on and went for a surf with a crew at frigates ( 3 standups only were there) subsequently he gave myself and several mates a solid 2 hour lesson in the lagoon and on the beach - must have been impressed with my skill level - so if I can I will post a one wave sequence
