Hi newbie!
I love all the recommendations going on here, thanks folks!
Some critical details left out are your age and fitness.... they are a huge consideration when advising people what will be a good fit for them.
My advice here is based on 50 to mid 60's and reasonably fit.
Younger/older or less fit will mean definite size difference.
At 6'2, 110 kg and wanting to progress while having fun, my Creek advice is go with the 9'7 x 33 at 160 L.
It is in the right volume range for your ability, and at 6'2 you will need the added with, as Sunova's all have performance rails which sit low in the water and feel a bit tippy when you first get one them.
I have always felt the the Creek was best if surfed one size larger than you think you should.
The Creek is one of the fastest boards I have ever been on and, if ridden a a big enough size, is great is small, weak conditions to OH juice.
9'4 Creek vid:
The One 9'5 x 32 @ 160 L is the exception to the rule on thin performance rails.. they have more volume and the board overall has a lot less rocker.
The ONE is a really fun, fast board in marginal to moderate conditions.
It will be less expensive than the other Sunova's.
9'5 ONE vid:
If you want really solid stability, great performance and have the money to step up.... the 9'6 Kanga!
9'6 x 33.5 @ 167 L
It may be the last board you ever buy, because you will never outgrow it... it will perform well even at an advanced level.
9'6 Kanga Vid:
I picked out mostly backside videos, so you could see the same rider, surfing the same direction, on all 3 boards.
Any questions, please ask!
Enjoy your search... I think I enjoy the research as much as the decision
