It looks like I'll be hitting the road again as a travel nurse. Been in Colorado the last 2 years and although I love it, I miss the coast and the plan is to travel up and down the California coast as a travel nurse. It's been a while so I don't know what's new and what's changed with surf SUP's. In the past I've owned a couple King's, David Craig and Tim Stamps customs. Boards have been 8'6", 8'10" and 9'0". I'm 6'2" tall, 190lbs and in good shape. So given my plan to travel I'll probably see all different conditions. What do you think would be a good size board to travel with? Maybe another 9'0" or even a 9'2"? I know people are going shorter and shorter these days, but given I'll only have one board for everything, what's the best size?

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Welcome back..

You could go with a Simmons Shape 8'8" or a 8'4" ..
As you advance you will probably go 8'0"
These are a lot of fun..

Hit me up if you are in town for a surf...
