Hi guys.
Im looking at buying a sup for a special someone for Chrissy but not sure what to get.
She is about 52 kg and can stand on a board but that's about it. Wants to learn to ride some small local waves as in 1 to 2 ft. No foamy board though. The guy in the store wasn't a lot of help so thought I'd give it a go here and check out the brains trust.
Cheers!

Buy what you want as your next board as most of us do.

Seriously though there are lots S/H on here that would be great. Light so she can carry it and get it off the roof. All rounder shape 9ish by 30.

Great thanks. I'll look around here first then. In Mandurah area if anyone is interested in flogging me one.

The 9'5" striker is great - my wife is 55 kilo and has had one for abt a year - gone from kneeling mostly, to cracking thigh high mellow waves. Still will not surf near rocks or more than a couple of people BUT we get some great waves on our own when paddling down the beach away from car parking area. The striker is able to be used as a beginning board but grows with your ability and surfs well as you improve!

Good to learn on if your goal is to get into the surf, very stable given it's width and volume. Turns quite nicely off the tail. Only selling as I need to make room and don't use it. Send me a message on 0431692626 if you want to come have a look.
