PGC (Shaun) Photographer extrordinaire and father of our 14 year old prodigy James swears by his. Apparently they have great stability for a really surf oriented board. I've got say this year in particular is going to be the hardest ever to choose a board! I've narrowed it down to about 5000 options. Seriously there are about 10 semi to full on performance surfing sups that look sweet. The Mana's 8'10" and 8'5", The Fanatics Allwave 8'11" and 8'6" almost unrecognisable with their tucked in noses! The 9'0 and 8'8" JP Wide body's, (I can't believe how light they are!!!) Then my mate mate MAtt confused things for me evgen more when he turned me on to the 'Noosa Surf Works' web site and I instantly fell in love with at least six shapes excluding the Boardworks options. I have no doubt that TSJ and DTM are the SUP surfboard kings and DC is the Downwind/race and surf Guru. SUP design has made quantum leaps in OZ not to mention the USA where you've got Bill Foote and his innovative design, L41 (Simsup) why isn't someone doing them here, Blane Chambers ex PSH is as always is right on the money. It really allows some average guys like me to punch above their not inconsiderable weight. Have fun on the Prowave and please do a review with photo's if possible to help ditherers like myself make up their mind!!
Cheers and thanks for the post !

Run the tape over your boards. I have heard of a brand spanker 9'6 being 9'3 long.
