I started surfing about 3 years ago, and I primarily surf either a funboard (7'9") or a longboard. I'm not that good, but I would say I am progressing and a SUCK LESS! I have no problems catching most of the waves I go after, and I am looking to be able to make more turns. The guy at my local surfshop recommended a Pumpkin Seed shape after telling him my ability (lack of ability?) level. I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these boards that they could share. I surf almost exclusively in NJ, and im 6' 200 lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
