Nice blog! First of all, excuse me for my english, i'm from Spain. I've a question: My weight is 280 lbs. ¿What kind of Stand up board i need? I surf since 1988, with longboard. Now i have a 9'6'' and a 9'2'', and i´m shaping a 10'. But here in Spain, the Stand Up is coming slowly and we don`t have much boards to choose. Thanks.
Cool to hear from a surfer from Spain- where do you normally surf? Got any photos of people doing stand up there? I'd love to see them!
I'd recommend a big board like the Surftech Laird- my friend started on that board and he weighed 270lbs- the board is 12'1" by 31" I can't remember the thickness. He really liked that board and has kept it even after going through two other boards!
Interestingly, he now rides a 10' by 30" by 4.75" custom shaped board made of eps and fiberglass/epoxy lamination. The board was made by Tim Stamps (www.surfboardsbystamps.com) so you should be able to come down in size once you've got your skills down.
Faster answer!!! I`m from Pantin in Galicia. North-West of Spain. No pics of SUP here, sorry. Only one surfer uses SUP here. I want to shape my own SUP, but here the biggest foam i could buy is a 11'..... Well, i have to wait. Thanks and good waves. I will read your blog in the future......
I'm surfed out- check out these waves. It's been really fun down here- hope you're scoring some too.
