The Bamboo look pretty.. The Bamboo has better fins.. The Bamboo comes with a quallity board bag.

The AST is the same shape and a bargain price for such a great board... I have the Bamboo..

Cheers DJ. Do you reckon the 10" Mana would hold my 130kg when surfing ? I think the volume is 210 litres.

Scotty I am 120 and started on the Starboard Avanti. I know a lot of people have recommended the whopper to you, but if you have been out of surfing a while and are tipping the the scales at a buck thirty, you might find the Avanti is the go. I am on the whopper now, but I am glad I started on the Avanti as I reckon I enjoyed SUP a lot more than i would have if I started on a smaller board, spent a lot more time in the water and caught a lot less waves. You'll never want to get rid of the Avanti, even when its time to go to a different board, it will be a great one to have in the shed for yourself or family or friends. I surfed a few waves on it with my 6 yo son sitting on the front. Great fun.

Yes.. No probs.. Try and demo one and see for yourself..

You could also try a 10'5" x 32" Starboard Widepoint and also a 10'2" x 33" PSH Hull Paddler.

This is a friend and her son on my old 10' Mana.. It's a very floaty board.

scotty i agree with DJ the Naish 10' Mana will float you easy and its a board you can continue to use and better your surfing ability.

Thanks tp DJ and Rodders for the feedback.
The jury has finished deliberating and have all voted in favour of the Mana.
The Mana it is.
