Ive been surfing longboards for tears. How well will this thing be able to do both SUP & board surfing?

It's a wonderful board for beginners and not that you couldn't surf with it but I think it would be a low performance board for riding waves.

Hi Jerry. This board is more for cruising around. I believe the Greco SUP that is also for surfing is in development.

I ride a 510 so this board feels huge. Bought more for cruising an swimming . It's pretty thick

Yes! The rubber on top has a nice grip to it. A surfboard or SUP is wide and flat enough to sit nicely.

You might be able to my son used it for surf.. Maybe a longer one for standup Paddleboard

I don't think it would be very easy, since it's not as wide as paddle boards. but it's a good starter surf board.

It's designed to easily handle a trolling motor and trust Me it works great! Since the Sun Dolphin is so light a trolling motor pushes it around just find. Anything more would really be to much for it, not saying it wouldn't work, just saying there simply is no need to go with an out board motor when the trolling motor does the job right! An outboard motor might just get you and the little Dolphin into danger so if you do try it please do yourself a favor and do so with extreme caution!!!

I'd think it would last a long while. Very sturdy. I was worried about getting a "soft" surfboard. I needn't have been.

Hi, I have been surfing over 35 years. You weigh about the same as me. If I were you I would get an 8 foot "funboard" shape, or better yet, around a nine foot longboard. Probably a used board would be your best bet for a first board. If you want something new, INT Softboards is a good brand and it is made in the USA - I'd go for the 9 foot model if you choose this route. - have fun

no. it is designed to secure a surfboard only. even a SUP might be beyond its capability.

Agreed - would suggest at least 9 ft for paddleboarding. This is a great board for the surf

I am 5' 4" and have a SUP that weighs 22 lbs. I am able to balance the SUP on my head, tilt one end higher and rest it on the rack while I walk backwards to get the rest of the board on the rack. I don't know if I would be able to do that with a board that weighs twice as much but you may be stronger and taller than I am. I prefer to load our two boards when the two of us can help with the process. It is possible alone.

no idea. I doubt if would be so good, as the padding behind the shell would likely come off iwhen waterlooged with satl water (f longboarding is surfing)

Surfing and body boarding are a religion - if your over 6ft and 200lbs this body board is for you. If your looking to run and jump on it like a skim board, stick to a skim board. If you want to rip up the faces of very large waves I recommend this body board

I'd like to help you but I have yet to use this board. I too am around 200lbs and my old board was pretty much the same size and could carry me effortlessly. I have high hopes for this one. The bottom seems like it is quality plastic just thick enough to withstand abuse but thin enough to not be too heavy

I have not tried it with a SUP. It might work if you bungeed it in sideways. But SUPs are lighter than my 60lbs++ kayak. Shoulder strap would probably be easier for a SUP I think.

I know it fits two longboards but don t think two SUP will fit. Best bet would be double & it should work on a fusion.

I dont think it would work as a paddle board, it tips very easily. It is very hard to balance even when surfing

I use it on my mountain bike. I don't think it would do well on a paddle board. You might want to consider a Boombottle instead.
