Gear Talk / Re: What SUP Surfboards are you riding and why?

Its working great for me. however...
 I was out in So.CA a couple weeks ago and tried my Twin brothers (same ht. wt.) new 7'11". Infinity Simmons and Loved It!!!

+1 for the Infinity Phoenix.  I demo'd a 7'6" x 29" x 4" (103L) v2 this last weekend and it is amazing.  It takes a little getting used to (second session was much better than the first) but once on the wave ... WOW! Like they say "believe the hype!".  I placed an order for one the next day (7'6" x 30" x 4.25", shooting for 115-120L).

For reference I am 5'8" 155lb, intermediate.

Yea, fprgpt about the height and weight. Im short 5/5 200lbs wet.

Based on your weight recommended volume would be 182L so the 11'6" is plenty of board @ 231L. 

With your surfing background I do think you will outgrow this board very quickly if your primary use will be for surfing.  For flat water, exercise and good all round fun for the family it would be a good choice.

I use THULE Aeroblade racks with no pads and Blocksurf tie down straps.  Works great with or without board bag but I typically haul my boards in a board bag for protection. 

An added 1-2psi in each tire offsets the very minimal MPG loss I get with the racks on the car.

What is your weight and height? 

I would be concerned that you will outgrow 231L very quickly, especially if you are not heavy and like to surf. 

Also, $2K is a lot to spend on a first board. 

If possible I'd demo some boards to dial in what length, width and volume will work best for you.
