    been surfing only about 3 years during the summers and I'm a little tired of my 6'8 7S board. it was a good learning board but I wanna upgrade to a shorter board that i can maneuver a little better since I've gotten a bit better at surfing. I'm about 5'10 and 160 pounds. any advice for brands and sizes would be helpful for narrowing down my search.
