Going to a smaller wave sup
Publié : sam. janv. 19, 2019 12:24 pm
hi
I now have a Curve 8.9 pro pre-edition with 140 liters.
My length is 2.00 meters and weight 88 kgs.
I SUP in waves in Netherlands and Bretagne (Crozon) mainly, all from knee high to as big as I can get out in. After some practice I can now paddle out in most conditions, even with wind chop and sucky strong currents.
At the moment I am considering to go for a smaller second board.
On my radar are a Fatal Pro 7.7 or a Karmen 8.4 FSP, both with 120 liters.
I would start to practice in easy glassy conditions.
The FSP construction is tempting for me as it has less chance of damages to the bottom/rails and so would need less repairs.
On the other hand, the short length of the Fatal seems nicer for faster turns with less swing.
Any advice from the experts here?
