I have a 10 Oxbow for waves and flat water. I also use a 12 SOS for flat water. I've had a 11 Jimmy Lewis which was great all around board even for bigger riders. The surftec 12 soft top is also a great board to start with and to catch really small stuff. Some boards I didn't like are the Jimmy Lewis 12 since it had a curved bottom and was difficult to stay up on and well as the Micky Munoz from Surftec as it was very narrow and hard to balance. I also use a 10'6'' C4 which I would have to say is one of the best boards I've been on for waves, but the coating is not very strong and chips easily where as the Oxbow's seem to have the strongest coating and are hard to chip.

For Paddles, I like the wooden Jimmy Lewis for waves and flat water and the Carbon C4 as well for both conditions. If you're going to be just doing the flat stuff then the Naish aluminum paddle is good, but I've bent a shaft and split the blade in one week of use in 4 foot waves.
