hello
dilemma here
i have surfed since the 1960's, but want to try SUP surfing because of a chronic rib injury.
i can paddle a 30 inch wide SUP easily on a glassy lake.
i never surf anything over 6 feet high anymore (regular surfing) unless it is a really easy point break.
i was thinking of these two boards mainly because i can buy them fairly inexpensively locally.
starboard 34 x 10 x 4.1 (whopper) vs Isle 10'2" x 31 x 4.5
i am inclined towards the whopper but i am worried it might be too slow cause of it's width.
i am inclined towards the Isle because i like the company and it comes with a paddle.
i am a little worried about the Isle because i do not want to look like a moron paddling out.
i am 5' 9" tall and weigh 175 pounds.
thank you.
