Hi All, Hoping for some advice in relation to board choice. I have a son who is 10 who has taken to paddling and I am on the look out for a suitable board for him (preferably 2nd hand). Something stable enough for him to ride on flat water and learn to catch small waves but not too big he gets blown away in a light Breeze. It would also need to be able to float me at 75kg - 5'10 when I want to use it.
We own a 11'4" Naish and are looking for a board for the young 'un so we can paddle together (on flat water) and also a smaller board for occassional surfing.
Any advice appreciated on boards to consider. Lance.
You could go for the Walk on water 8'0 x 30 soft top, Goatman has one for his kid and my kids ride them all the time, 12 yo and a little 7yo girl, beauty of it is you can also surf it , im 5'8 72kg and have some great sessions on it. cheers bl
Thanks for the advice bl the soft top had crossed my mind. Will check out some models. The young fella has commited to a Winter of Jobs to work towards the purchase - he's pretty keen!
