The 8’10″ Gerry Lopez Sweetie Pie SUP is a high performance board.
The single to double concave and progressive rocker make this SUP paddle and ride like a dream. This board paddles well and turns nicely into waves.

Description
The Gerry Lopez 10’6″ Big Darling. Many SUP
designs lean more towards the flat water paddling side. Gerry has taken
the liberty of assuming the customer has already learned his
paddling/balance skills and is looking to maximize his/her surfing
performance.
The bottom shape utilizes a single to double concave to give
lift and speed in critical situations so going fast enough to make a
wave is not a problem. The quad fins work very well in wave
riding…looser, faster, and just as positive. The Big Darling is an
all-around hi-performance SUP surfboard designed by one of surfing’s most respected waterman and craftsman.

Description
I've made some compromises to ease of paddling with the outline template, leaving some width in the front end but without using a full longboard type nose. The bottom shape utilizes a single-to-double concave to give lift and speed in critical situations so going fast enough to make waves should not be a problem. Either size should have plenty of floatation for 200 lb. surfers, depending on their skills. The concave bottom creates stability and the gentle rocker allows the boards to slip easily through the water whether one is paddling for a wave or just cruising across a lake.
The Lil Darling's shape is basically a scaled down version of the Surf Music series but with a quad fin set-up. I have found the quad fins to work very well in wave riding... looser, faster and just as positive
