fokaiHI,
Ever since I dropped down from a 9'0 ITP longboard to a 5'4 spud, I've had to jock for position because the longboards and SUPers keep trying to catch all the waves. I'm able to compete most of the time :)

hawaii_boi,
I know what u mean. SUP is like the worst. It makes me happy to see them so cold right now. I'm sure the spud can handle. for me, I'm use to having a lot of volume, so going a lil bigger works fine for me. i was really amazed again w the 5'6 PN on mon. it seemed easier to catch waves than my 5'10 VG.

Any thoughts on going with a 5'10-6'0 PN over the SP? Looks like the volume is about the same and the paddling may be better on the PN.
a preference call. they both sick boards, the PN just gives you a few extra options having a narrower tail...

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
Hey Guys,
I have a similar question to this post....
I am currently looking at getting a SP and have found one second hand cheap.
Problem is thats its 6'0 x 23 x 3 1/4. I am only 5'11 and weigh 165 lbs.. Would you advice going for this option or is it just going to be way too big? I'll mainly been using it for 1-3ft sloppy surf. I currently ride a 5'10 regular short board if this helps..
Let me know if it will be waste of money..
Owen
ps. sorry for the thread highjack
Big waste of money. Look for a 5'2
I am 6'3" and 210 lbs and the 6.0 SP is much too big for me. All that foam in a chubby short board is super slow for paddling.
Too much volume for your frame!!!. 5'2" is the call, for sure the guy is selling cause he found it too bigOriginally Posted by onass
