So I do both, and have been trying to find info on the 2 sports.

Some manufacturers like Naish , Bic starboard etc make SUP boards that 1 can windsurf with, but how about the other way around, using a windsurf board to do some SUP?

Windsurfer boards are probably stronger and lighter.

Any1 got any feedback?

I have thought about this too.

I saw a video on youtube a while back where this guy took a wide starboard windsurfer out for a SUP paddle, and he ripped on it.

I'll see if I can find that video somewhere.

How about a good ol' Ten Cate Windsurfer?

At the risk of being politically incorrect, live in a country where there's loads of Haitians to do it for you  Shocked  Grin

I used a windsurf board a long time ago with a canoe paddle.  Maybe I invented the sport  Huh Embarrassed  Undecided

Whatever you do, don't do it on a Naish board , after reading the stuff about the Naish breaking in small waves whilst SUP-ing, then I don't think they'd last very long as a windsurfers.

Both options are far from ideal.
