Hi all. I'm in the market for an isup. Want to spend around $800-$900 AUD. Been looking at Aqua marina monster 12' and shark traveller 12'. Has anyone used or seen these?? Or can anyone suggest an other brand around that price mark. Cheers.....

Whats your weight and what do you want to use it for?

Like anything some inflatables are better than others and this shows over time.

Never used the Shark Traveller, but Aqua Marina makes pretty solid boards for the price.

That said, @paulj is right - what are your physical stats? These will impact how the board rides on the water. Smaller guy? You could go with a 8-10' iSUP. Bigger? 12' is probably good for you but thickness also plays a role.

Hi guys Im 95kg. So im looking at Aqua Marina monster 12' or the racer which is 14' both 6 inches thick.. Does having 1 or 3 fins make much of a difference?

Thanks for the reply guys....

Looking at Aqua Marina 14' Racer 28inch wide 6 inch thick or the Monster 12.6' 32inch wide 6 inch thick. Will use in open water beach in the in europe.Thanks

Have a good look also at the

Red Paddle Co 2016 12'6" x 28" Race or even the 13'2" x 30" Explorer.

Open water, Ocean and Flat. They'll work well in anything.

I am also looking for an ISUP in a similar situation as you.
I am looking at the red paddle co explorer and the Tower brand from the US.
Also the naish one looked good,
As per the fins, from my limited experience the longer single fin will track straighter for much longer and reduce the amount of strokes, the thruster three fins are smaller, much easy to manage on the wave face and glide okay.
In ISUP that are long as 13-14 foot then a fin on the front of the board is also important for tracking.

I agree my 12'6 race is very versatile
