Hi folks I have seen a Deep Jackson close 10'x26 @111 L for sale on this site and I am interested in buying it. I am 70kg low intermediate SUP surfer and I have a 9'6" 170L board that has been great for catching any waves. I have been watching Vids of Longboarding and I think I would be more suited to that style than shortboarding performance SUPs as I have only been surfing a few years and Im in my late 50's now. Would the 111 L be too little volume? I have recently purcashed a prone longboard as during Isolation I watched lots of Vids on Longboarding and want to give it a go, but Im usually on my SUP not wanting to waste wave time practising on the longboard. I guess a Longboard SUP you get the best of both worlds.
I'm similar to your weight and age and the volume should be fine, but compared to your other board it might too big a jump down. I'm not sure how stable it would be at 26, post some feedback if you get it as I'm interested in getting a 26 wide longboard also.
Arrived last night...
10'1" x 27... 113ltrs... Screaming performance... and old school style. I hope I can do it justice...
God it looks good!! Plenty of swell around to get it wet in at the moment... lessgo!!
I looked at this model at the factory,it is with out doubt the best looking longboard sup that I have seen,and I have supped or looked at most of them Simon has definitely put time into this model ! It definitely does not hurt to have had Jackson testing them as well,
