I'm looking at getting a SUP to do a little fishing off whilst not being a complete pig in the surf.
Was wondering if anyone else has any recommendations on dimensions ?
Ive heard people of using Naish Nalus and Surftech Generators .
I'm 5'8' and 80kgs currently riding a LSD 8'8" Shorty .
Any other recommendations on makes / sizing ?

I remember someone being a complete pig in the surf on a recent trip to Fiji ... but we'll leave those Stokes out of this.

Thanks for the responses.

SteveM74 : I assume that's the 10'6 Nalu ? Which is about , 30" wide (?) . Can you cast off it or is it more for transport to spots?

Maxeaus: Pretty much the same question . I assume that's a 12'6" , so i'm guessing it's about 28" wide(?). Do you find that stable enough to cast off, or once again , is it pretty much to get you to where you fish ? ( nice set up by the way. I assume you could keep a couple of cans in that bag too?)

Also how do the two of you go when you hook up?

Sharper : If I remember correctly , you were too deep! There's NO way that YOU would have made it!!

I've attached lugs and shock cord to the nose of my nalu. So far I've only trolled off it a few times (unsuccessfully), but it's great for paddling out to the abalone and cray reefs with snorkeling gear.

Rather than pay $200 odd for the shade cloth and pvc fishing box, use a 25 litre blue esky. a couple of lengths of 40mm pvc for rod holders and attach it to the board via tie down points. When i get home I'll try to put up some pics.
I haven't cast from mine, which is 31 wide, but have successfully caught fish trolling. Not many yet but need to get back on it.

Starboard Atlas 12' x 33" - You can tour, fish and surf on it. Room for an esky too!

I even know of one for sale...
