Hi
i want to make a board that is stable to paddle in small 3-4' surf, tends to have a bit of water movement rip. I use a 9'2x29" SMIK for sup surf.
Have built a 7'10 x 22" for flat water paddle up( can't do it yet)
I find this board to trick to balance on in the surf.
what sizes are ppl using? Not as a DW board more a surf foil sup. thanks
Yeah if not for DW then drop the length down a bit and go between 6-6-5 as this sizing definitely feels better for wave foiling than using a DW board.
I always love riding the 5'10 x 23 x 92L Egg in the surf as it is just way more fun and easy to pump around plus it still picks up most of the waves.
I have also made a custom proto for myself i have been riding which is 6'1 x 20 x 100L x 4kg which also feels pretty good and feels super nice to pump around on.
Just go a touch wider as you will lose some stability when dropping the length, Maybe something like 6'5 x 24 might be a start if you are making one custom.
Thanks guys appreciate feedback.
Do you find theses size boards easy enough to stand on while waiting for waves?
