Lacey, I've been thinking about it as well, I had a Mal over the Xmas break.
I'd go a full blown Log, I've been looking at them at Dans both his and others that he glasses for people.
If you're going to ride Short SUP, Mal and shorty the Mal will kind of get used when it's windy and small and a bad direction for a DW

so the Log will be better for nose riding, trimming and riding it differently to the others.
Go a Log mate!
