hi,

I am thinking about getting a non surf style sup for general paddling off a local beach (kingston beach hobart) mostly in smallish chop and windswell. I used to have a starboard ace 14 Which I never really liked the way it footsteered but did like the way it cut into chop.

Can anyone recommend a board model or style of board which is a decent paddler but footsteers ok going downwind? Maybe even catch a couple of small ones when my kids are on out wave boards.

apologies in sdvance if this has been answered before on the site.

cheers chris

12 foot sunova search or point break ..or the 14's .

Thanks for the answers, I'll get looking. I saw down further there was a discussion on flat water vs ocean sups. I'm definitely leaning to less speed and more feel. Who makes the venoms? Or is that the brand?cheers chris

That looks exactly like I was thinking of, I'll check out further.
thanks for the link
cheer Chris

Something like the Evo 2.0 sounds like it will suit, paddles super nice and fun in the waves. Steers from the middle if needed which feels super nice Downwind. www.oneoceansportsaustralia.com/shop/evo-20

The One Evo Pro 2.0 is also a great board in small chop.
