I tried SUP last year and got hooked. Unfortunately I live in Sweden and our weather... sucks. Now it's March and the lake near me is still frozen...anyway:
Thinking of buying a new SUP and it's hard to find information out there. I've been leaning towards Aqua Marina because I can chose a seat later or maybe an motor for fishing etc. and the brand seems to have a pretty good reputation.
Close to where I live they will sell the Aqua Marina hyper 11,6 for a good price. I wish they sold the 12,6 but unfortunately they don't. It's hard to get the 12,6 here in Sweden I'd you don't pay a lot of money. The problem is that I'm 192cm and weighs around 90-95kg. Will that be a problem? I read that the recommended max weight is 90kg. It's hard to get the 12,6 here in Sweden if you don't pay a lot of money and the place that sells the 11,6 is literally around the corner.
I olso had my eyes on NKX flash from euroskateshop (I can't send link because I'm a new member) But my guess is that the Aqua Marina is worth the extra money?
Cheers
Sweden isn't unfortunately filled with SUP information and retailers. That's why the Hyper would be a good option because it's from a well known brand and the store that sells it is well known as well.
BTW. I will mostly use it on a very calm lake 100m from where I live.
