How it surfs
The manufacturer's own positioning is the clearest guide here: this is described as the ideal board for intermediates and for anyone who frequently surfs less than perfect waves. Riders chasing tight, vertical surfing in good waves will be better served by a shorter, narrower wave SUP.
Width is held constant as length drops through the range, which is why the shorter sizes keep their rail performance. It also means the 7'9" at 28.5 inches is still a stable platform relative to its length, though the listed 45 to 85 kg band is wide enough that lighter riders should not assume the smallest size is automatic.
Anyone stepping across from prone surfing should read the surf etiquette rules before paddling a wave SUP into a crowded lineup, since the wave-catching advantage changes how you should position at the peak. Riders comparing against other composite wave boards can start with the Fanatic Stylemaster.
Volume & sizing chart
Use the chart below as a starting point. Add half a litre if you are less experienced, subtract half a litre for a looser feel.
| Size | Volume | Rider weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7'9" | 105 L | 45 to 85 kg | Experienced, moderate conditions |
| 8'2" | 120 L | 50 to 95 kg | Experienced |
| 8'7" | 135 L | 85 to 95 kg | Intermediate |
| 8'10" | 150 L | 90 to 100 kg | Intermediate |
| 9'2" | 165 L | 95 to 105 kg | Intermediate to entry |

Verdict
The AllWave reads as a deliberately forgiving wave SUP: same volume in a shorter outline, a concave-heavy bottom and a five-size run covering 45 to 105 kg riders. Missing board weights and no published retail price are the gaps in the official data.
