Hi, greetings from Brasil.

I´m 84Kg, 39 yo, and with 25+ year of shortboard experience, having surfed all kinds of conditions. Very little SUP experience, but it was easy and fun with an all around board on calm waters.

I want a wave board, but one that be good for an exploration or workout paddleing sometimes. I think Naish Mana series is the kind that fits this (please let me now if I´m wrong). I accept others sugestions too (perhaps even the 9,5 hokua can do the job, don´t know). Cabrinha PRO 9'2 is an option too?

The problem is that I´m confusing beteween the new 8'10 mana and the 9'5 mana. The naish site says the 8'10 can be used up to 91 Kg (138 L) and the 9'5 up to 95 kg (190 L). Isnt´t a too little difference in the KGs for a big difference in liters? I wish to be sure that the 8'10 can suport me, as I prefer it´s size.

Thx in advance for any sugestions or advices (including online stores that can ship to Brasil).

9'5" Mana gets my vote.. Also you should concider the new 10'6".5 Nalu.. It's not always a shorter must be better thing.

btw.. I'm using it (the 10'6".5) in my 'Surfing with the Mana girls' vid.. It's awesome and a much better choice for exploration and excersise.

That new 8'10" Mana is so new I don't think anyone has even seen one yet.. I'm also very keen to check it out.. Remember shorter might surf better (on some waves) but do not paddle big distances very well because they yaw so much with each stroke.

Welcome to the Breeze..

what DJ said... 10'6.5" Nalu, unless your surfing bigger waves the consider 9'10" or 9'5" Hokua's

9 6 Fanatic all wave. I am 83 kg, 52 and not much of a short board surfer. The All Wave is great in waves, stable yet nimble to trun and work. Go for it!
