You can't GO wrong (yuk yuk). For waterstaring practice, The Fanatic
would likely be the easiest, but for all around use at your level,
That GO
is probably going to work the best, and the ding resistant deck will
be
a big bonus (also makes for more weight), plus, you can get some
good performance out of it
with a big sail. The Naish would be the hardest to get tuned into,
just because of the outboard strap placement, but is likely the
lightest.
The Fanatic would be a great shoreline board (actually designed for
tricks),
with flat rocker, a wide stable planform, and inboard straps.
There's not a bad choice in any of these (IMHO).
