Starboard Atlas Extra

[Houston SUP]

Looking at the Starboard Extra 36" wide, no where for me to test one, looking for anyone who can give some insight. Need a stable board, I'm 6'-9", any other recommendations would be welcomed.

I'd say your best bet would be to play basketball.

Joe blair has some boards for the big man and demos.

Started with the south county 10er 10x35 great board i still have it.
Also have a LPC 14 footer about 31 inches wide great lake board.

I'd highly recommend the South County 10Ft Another great option for us big guys is the Fanatic Fly 11'6 (33 wide) Floats great does everything (flatwater, waves, sail, fish) reasonably well. I wouldn't go to anything wider than 34" it is just over kill

What type of paddling do you plan on doing?

If it is mainly flat water - then the Atlas Extra would be a great choice.
We have sold them to lots of big and tall people - all with rave reviews.
