I'm 182 cent and 79 kilos. 64 years old and looking to get my first board for fitness but really want to progress to downwinding too. I have a chance to get a decent deal on a Naish 14x29 but I'm trying to decide if the learning curve will be too steep on a board like that. I've read posts on this site and feel that a lot of good advice is available here.

Regards, Marksz

I am not the expert on 14' boards, but 29" wide is a good width and Naish is a respected brand. There are different models/shapes/weights so you should get advice if you want to go downwinding.

Im 95 kgs and have a 28 x14.naish Javelin ' you should have no problem adapting to this board .
great paddler and DW.board .
