Hi guys, I'm looking to get my wife a board which she will only use for flat water and mucking around with the family. I've already got a 14' Naish Glide and was sneakingly thinking I could get her a board which would do double duty as a beginning surf SUP for me!

I'm 189cm and about 100kg, my wife is 160cm and 55kg.

I was thinking either a 10' 6" Nalu or maybe a 9'4" Allwave .

Anyone got any advice?

Sounds like a gr8 plan. Check out the 10ft ecs as well you can get the new carbon board at a real competition price

The 10'6 Nalu will surf like a longboard.
good in any size surf
It paddles well
Its is a really good board that people hold onto.

The 9'4 Allwave will surf more like a shortboard.
good in any size surf
It paddles well
more stable than the 10'6 Nalu
more durable
easier for your wife to load on the car

I like them both, but they are quite different boards.... it will mostly depend on what kind of surfing you like to do.

The Blue Planet 10'4 Booster Model is also worth a look.
