Hi guys. I have just started SUP and am loving all my time on the water. I bought a Guy Leach pro series board from Anaconda. I am ready to look at new boards ( as my wife likes the old one) I am 95 kgs and most of my paddling will be done on a lake or very small surf. Can someone give me some tips on what I should look for?
95kgs thats not a heavy weight,
the mana is a great board, but for mostly paddling and small surfing, would go the nalu, just try and demo them both and see what you like.what ever you get just have some fun mate

Neil, the Hull AA paddlers are also worth a look in-

The new Hull design increases glide on both flat water and on waves.
The new Cabrinha 10.2 c-series is a better paddler/a better surfer/ better looking and I think better priced than the mana. My mate has been surfing the 9.8 and he's low 90s and thats very stable for him - so the10.2 will give you heaps more glide and even more stability.
I agree with scotty88, the nalu 11 should work really well. i am 10kg heavier than you and my nalu 11 6 is perfect for lakes and small surf. i also tried the mana 10 which was a bit more nimble than the nalu but didn't seem to glide as well. 
Ok I'm gonna put it out there, I have the nalu and now the Shaka and love them both
But for you try the jp 12'6 cruiser I thought it had a lot of positives.......just putinit out there
At your weight Demo the 9'7" and I vouch you wont be disappointed. They fly on the flat and surf better than many surf dedicated boards particularly in up up to head high surf.
Congrats.. I paddle every day and most of the time it's on my 10' Mana.. I love mine.
If you want to paddle longer distances it's worth changing the center fin to something slightly bigger (8.5"-9.5").
Did you buy new.. and is it the wood or the AST?
