He actually suggested a 6'2" I currently use a 6'7" Webber. I should have gone smaller with that. But I do like it. Thats my dilemma now. Don't want to go too short where I don't like it. But am looking to go a bit shorter than I'm surfing now. A lot of people suggest 5'10 or 5'8". I also don't want to spend 700+ and wish I went smaller. I surf as much as I can and feel like I've progressed a good deal. So I'm in a bit bind as to which way to go.
Thats what sucks about surfboards its hard to try one before you buy one.. Do you know anyone who rides a smaller board any one at your surf spot that you could ask to try a wave or two on there board? I gradually went smaller from a wide 6'6 to a moderate 6'5" then a 6'1 and now the 5'10 all in less than 3 yrs.. Do you surf pionts up there or hollow beach breaks if I were surfing pionts I wouldnt be choosing the 5'10 I would go bigger
Why is everyone suggesting alternate shapes? this guy could be just as happy on a 5'10/ 5'11 regular shortboard, maybe one with a little wider nose/tail instead of a stubby small wave model
