SUP General / Is 30 really the magic number?
« on: January 05, 2008, 04:46:55 AM »
The surf shops near where I live sell mostly Naish and Starboards..and they are both 30" wide.

The salesmen say 30" is the magic number..and if I buy a new board it should be 30" wide.

I just smile to myself..and think..Yeah right.. ::)..btw..I like the look of the new 11' Laird and it's 27" wide.

I've been using an NSP at only 25 1/5" wide..and sure it's a bit tippy in rough water..but those 30" wide boards look like a barge to me.

Is there any downside in wider boards..or is it all good..I'd like to surf bigger waves and not bounce around on bottom turns.

Just wondering what you guys think about this.

Cheers
