One that is 9ft long, 29in wide, and 2.75in thick. Brand is not very important. If you can buy a board made in NZ or Oz instead of a mass produced board from China, you will be helping the industry that supports us.

Definitely not 29" wide.. that is SUP territory!

Something in the low 9's, 22.5 wide is ideal, thickness doesn't matter too much but thicker is stronger, so 3' is better.
