Re: Exocet wind sup
I'd agree with Drew, that if this Fly is for the big lakes I'd go with the 10'6".
I sailed the 10 on the ocean, but on all my boards I go a tad bigger since my sailing is 95% on fresh water.

Re: Exocet wind sup
Well I just ordered a 2011 HRS Fly 10'6" :-)
Started shaping some paddles too! Ash handles and redwood blades.

Re: Exocet wind sup
Drew, glad to hear you got that Fly. Wood paddles are gorgeous--have you figured out how to make them less slippery? By the way, that big left beat video wasn't mine, it was Matt's (see above). I do sail in the ocean mainly though......Todd
Re: Exocet wind sup
As far as slippery paddles go, here's the two options I've been considering:
1) Don't varnish the handle. Ash is extremely hard and should be fine. Could oil it also. Like I used to do with my teak booms :-)
2) Sprinkle sand (or sugar) on the wet varnish, like is commonly done on glass boards for non-skid.
Comments welcome!
Drew

Now we need reviews on the 10 ft by 32 inch/175 liter volume WindSUP! More choices 
Re: Exocet wind sup
Well my Fly 10'6" arrived and I've had it out on the lake (flatwater) for paddling the last two evenings. The light weight and stiffness suprised me a bit, and the glide is very nice. I think it's a very good choice for me on fresh water.
Looking forward to trying it out in waves, and sailing it with the Freaks :-)
