I use the starboard wide point 8'10". It great. Quite good sup'ing and I use it inlight winds to moderate breezes in either the bay or surf when I windsup. Can easily be uphauled. I think it's about 132litres. But fanatic,jp and naish make good sups for windsuping apparently as well

If your option is 2nd hand, something older and cheaper and you want something you can sail on waves and also get planing easily I love this board.

2009 (approx) Fanatic Fly


Flat base so planes easily, just need to stand back a little as you catch waves to stop nose digging in.

i have 2 sups JP 9.9 and a starboard 9.0 both are very good but the 9'0 sails more like a windsurfer and is much more suited to wave riding . the jp is a very good light wind wave board i only use a 5m sail on it and when i cant get planing i will usually change down size board . i guess it depends , if you can already windsurf or you are learning .

Thanks everyone for the advice, I can windsurf at I guess novice level, plane, gybe, tack, beach, water start etc, no waves, just flat water. I'd like to be able to SUP on the light wind days and the days the wind drops out, I'm 65kg and 178cm, not sure what volume or length of board would be good. I may like to mess around in small waves later on but mostly just cruising.

Nothing larger than 9'6 for your weight and abilities u already have standing on a board, if you get something with 3 fin setup, if you are doing a lot of flat water cruising take out the 2 smaller side fins, if the wind picks up and you put a sail on put the fins back in. Have a play in the waves as well, only have to be very small but so much fun wether its supping or sailing in them. You can have a borrow of my board for a week or 2 (image above) if ur local to bonbeach its already pretty dinged up so no issues if you smack it with the paddle / mast.
