Want to take your SUP surfing to the next level? If so, you'll probably be looking to lose some volume in your next board. While providing close to shortboard levels of agility once you are on a wave, low volume SUPs are not exactly the easiest things to paddle around on. In this video, the Blue Planet Team provide a few pointers and also a few reasons why one would ride a small Stand Up Surfboard.
For reference: the board Ty Judson rides in the video is a 7'3 x 23" x 68L board and he weighs 74kg.
This is a post with more of our thoughts on board volume depending on body weight, type of use, and skill level:

Awesome edit. I really liked the way you integrated some drone shots there. It really added value. The surf in Indonesia looks absolutely fantastic. Keep on doing your thing, awesome job!

A slalom windsurf board is really fun for wave SUP. I use a Thommen F2 volume 86 L, width 53, length 269 . Great speed and amazing manoeuvrability due to the nose of the board.

Excellent video. I think "it depends" is a good answer to many board volume questions. We need to be realistic about our capabilities and expectations. Those guys in the vid are less than 1/2 my age, maybe 2/3 my wieght, and probably 10 x my skill. What's a "challenge" for them would be impossible for me.

So cool to watch but....dare to try it in our messy waves in the Mediterranean sea !

I do like to ride low volume boards, but I would never ride something that sinks with me on top, weighting 85-90kg, I generally ride 110 to 130 lt performance sups

Im 87kg and got a 82L sup. It definitely sinks without momentum and its a real challenge to balance weight on it evenely. It took me 5 sessions to get used to 110L from 135L. I think getting the stamina and balance to popup with a paddle on such an unstable platform would take me 3-6 weeks. The hardest things are: paddling normally especially on the weak side, staying stable while submerged, and coming out from submerged. Also i definitely recommend a full trackpad on the deck because on wax you will submerge, the slip, and kill someone in the lineup when you sup flies out of submersion..

I weight 90k and paddle a 185 liter sup. I can't imagine going any lower. Aside from the fact that it's my all around board that I use on flat days as well, the amount of effort necessary to generate speed and glide on a submerged board seems like it would be a lot of work. I guess for high performance surfing the super light small boards can rip but I am fine on my 10'6". It would be fun to try though.

what advantage does using a low volume sup have over just using a surfboard at this point?

The young woman nailed it. "The paddle is your walking stick"...............

I’d be impressed to see someone try this in NorCal

Sorry I wasn't listening, I was distracted by the beautiful waves and the surfing.

@tormarquis

I was really hoping for a demonstration of how you get up on a low volume board.

Amazing waves Where is it

@Luka-xb2ge

Hello, I am 183cm tall and 80kg. I'm currently riding a starboard sup 6'8 size 76 liter board. I'm used to catching waves, but it's hard to stay standing for a long time. Are overseas professional players similar to my weight and height riding lower volume than that? Then I wonder how it's possible.
