I would like to get into surfing this upcomming summer. Only problem is here in NJ the waves aren't very big. Knee high on average. I was curious what type of board I should get for those types of waves. I am 5'8" 160lbs. I was looking at a Gary Fisher Quad Fish. Any suggestions would help. Thanks
Idk.. I think NJ waves can be okay when utilized correctly with the right amount of skill and knowledge of how the waves work... Sure this isn't California, we don't have a second chance down the face to land that turn or air. We have one chance. And thats why when we travel to other places with "better" waves, we ****ing rip it up. Jersey surfers are ill. Buy a used board I'd say.. like a big fish.
Yeah haha, I just mean height wise. Take a look on craigslist, people are always putting up used boards.
dude you haven't learn to surf yet and already complaining about wave size..answer to ur question get a long board or a fun shape board...
Actually... summer is the PERFECT time for you to learn to surf. Would your rather learn in the winter, in your 5 mil, in rifling barrels, falling face first into 40 degree water 50 times a session? To give you the best answer, we need to know where you live/what beach you'll be learning at, how much time you plan on dedicating to learning, and what your budget is. I've never heard of a Gary Fisher Quad Fish.
i thought gary fisher made mountain bikes. anyway i have a 6'0 for sale you might like, if you decide of shortboard shape. check your inbox messages.
any board over 8ft long... don't waste your time with a shortboard if your only gonna surf in the summer. maybe one of the foam boards... you know, the big yellow ones...
i got a 7'4" wrv funshape. pretty good to learn on if your gonna go to a shorty. ill let it go pretty cheap justs sits in my garage anyways. also dont hate on jersey waves do some research youll learn soon enough. pm if your interested in the board.
