I've decided I want some windsurfing gear and will need to let the SUP go to fund this venture. So, if anyone wants to swap a beginner kit of windsurfing gear for a 9'6" Naish Mana SUP let me know what you've got.
I'm a surfer and ex-kiter [}:)]. I can do the windsurfing basics (can get up and going and control where I go), but can't water start and want something I can (easily) uphaul on. Would prefer something that won't get boring too quick, but at the same time something I could put around in the river with the kids on and get the missus to have a crack at (if such a thing exists?).
Been looking at a Starboard Go 170L (2nd hand), but probably a bit pricey for me and not sure if it matches what I'm after.
Would mainly be going o the river at this stage, but keen to get to the beach eventually.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Why not get a SUP you can windsurf on? Something like the JP Widebody ones. Of course if you want to go fast then it will be limiting. I don't think you can get a board that will be easy for the family to use and will also be exciting for you.
If you aren't too sensitive about your style, just put a mast track on the Mana, and buy a smaller board when you feel more confident
