Nice review. I started out sup surfing on smaller boards and was struggling to make progress. One day I got to try a whopper from another surfer and caught a lot more waves. I bought one and love it! In choppy conditions this board is just great. A real keeper.
My first board was a Whopper too, an ex rental but the best choice ever, then I bought a new Wide Point which is very good too but I did break the point within 2 weeks on a sandbank. My weight was 100kg a couple of years ago so I needed a big board,
Hey man, nice video! I’m thinking on getting a 10’ x 34” whooper and I weight 100kg, is it enough for me? Can I cruise and surf, even if it is smaller waves or will the board be too small?
@@kalikokahoonei4781 hey... thanks for the reply. That’s the problem, there isn’t any boards to demo. I currently have a starboard big easy and I’m thinking in selling so I could get the whopper. Anyway thank you for your answer
Enjoyed your review of the whopper ! Iam 55 years old looking to get Into surf sup , at 98 kg can’t decide between the whopper or the avanti ? Just looking to catch some small waves would you recommend the whopper or any other hard board

I just got my hands on a 2021 version and it’s really fun. Same dimensions as usual but way lighter and catches everything

Hello I enjoyed your video. What size single fin are you using in this video. Thanks in advance
11inch !
Hello, appreciate the review. Was wondering what fin you are using for the longboard fin ? Thanks.
i was using a 12 inch long pretty wide fin something you see on the classic 60s longboards
@Elliott Hubanks the board is squarely with the stock set of fins so without a bigger set on hand I took my big fin out off my longboard

yeah it will be more than enough ! if you have the chance demo one with a few different fin options

@@jonassonjp the big easy is a great board too ! just changing fin set up can make that board work amazingly well and feel like a new board

whopper as a first sup surf board cant be beat its a really good stable platform to get out and ride
Kaliko Kahoonei thanks for the advice my friend !
@@kalikokahoonei4781 if I can get a great deal on the avanti and I weigh about 105 kg does that make sense or still hold out for Whopper? First board
@@MikeMPharmaCyclist avanti to me just doesn’t surf quite as good. Whopper has been really fun
@@kalikokahoonei4781 gotcha man, I appreciate the perspective, thanks for the quick reply!
