Hi guys,   

I'm new in this forum and I'm not native English speaker so excuse me if my English is not perfect. 
I'm willing to purchase a SUP and I came with 3 models: 
Fanatic Allwave 8'9 2016
Starboard Wide Point 8'10 2016 
JP surf wide body 8'8 we 2015

I'm 1.93cm height, 82kg.
I'm not new in this world, used to paddle with my friend's SUP and do it really good. 
I'm looking for a board which will be relatively fast cruiser but will be able to catch waves well. 
The ocean here is choppy sometimes, waves are fast and 40-50cm top in average.
Of course the we got some pretty good days of high waves here in the summer.
Winter conditions - 80cm waves minimum. 

I'm new to surf, and willing to learn. I do learn really fast that's why i think about those dimensions so i won't need to purchase a new SUP soon.   
What do you think? 

Thank you all.   
Have a great weekend  :)

these are all surf designs but of these 3 (Which we sell) The Fanatic AW 8'9 is the best ocean cruiser But there are better models by these companies for cruising

Thanks for you reply JimK.
I was looking for a sup which is use is more for surf then touring around, but i need it for touring as well dor some flat days.
Why the fanatic? Can you explain a little?

the fanatic allwave has better glide in flatwater is better in everyday waves and the construction is more durable Plus I like the versatility of five fins

The JP and SBare good boards in their conditions it is just that the  fanatic has a slight edge (IMHO)

Plus (at least through us) the Fanatic is less expensive

Good Luck and have fun
