hello to the SUP / iSUP / WindSup community around Oz...have enjoyed reading all your posts...some very knowledgable legends out there amongst you

I am a medium ability SUP & wanting to begin WindSup & looking to invest in a complete package.

Im looking at inflatable as I have storage & transport restrictions. In the inflatable range it seems that the best value board options in Windsup were between the NaishCrossoverAir or the FanaticFlyAirPremium.

Crossover Air 11'0 L 30' W 6' T, 210L Vol, 11.5kg W & 95kg Max Rider, M8 Universal Insert, 2 X 10.0 Fins (back & centrefin)

FlyAirPremium 10'8 L 34' W (?) 4' T, 245L Vol, Mastfoot insert, tri fin (back)

I could not find a review anywhere on either board let alone a review comparing the two. I was really hoping to get an understanding of the pro's con's of each for both SUP and for WindSup usage.

75% of my usage will be for SUP & I really needed a great all rounder, something that is good for beginners can take out onto the ocean & especially into the surf, is reasonable on flat water & even be able to use in white water at a pinch.

25% windsup time I was just looking for a great beginner board for light sailing wind up to 15 knots bay style riding.

I am 96kg so I see that I am pushing the limits of the Crossover but imagine it would still be ok. The Crossover is a little more expensive and the narrow shape seems more suited for flatwater so am not sure how it would go in surf conditions.

I was a bit concerned with the 4' Thickness on the Flyairpremium thinking that it might have bend in it for someone my weight ( i did see a video that said it was 6' thickness but website shows 4') & also concerned i havent seen any reviews for this around the world so am wondering if anyone is actually buying.

Anyway thought i'd throw it out there & see if any of you legends could assist with some great advice on either option or perhaps another model i may have missed.

Cheers to anyone who takes the time to help.

Only used the fanic and love it as a flat water board and windsurfer , I've tried it in the surf but it kept nose diving.its just too flat for my crappy surf skills
