Gear Talk / Looking for recommended equivalent board to Tawalhi XL 10'6"

« on: April 08, 2020, 08:57:11 AM »

Hello,

I'm new to SUPs. I'm a liveaboard cruiser on my sailboat in the US (Gulf of Mexico), and I'm interested in getting a SUP to use for exercise, exploring anchorages, light-duty substitute for a dinghy for trips ashore, etc.

An Australian couple whose judgement I trust have a Tawalhi 10'6" board that they like. They said it is definitely a middle-of-the-road board, but that it has performed and held up well. I don't know anything about this board or company other than their recommendation. I've looked for those online, but don't see any sold outside of Australia.

If anyone is familiar with those boards and their reputation, I'm looking for suggestions for an equivalent or substantially similar board available to buy in the US.

Thanks in advance for any opinions.
