    I am looking to get my next board. I am about 5'9 and 130 pounds. I am riding a Lost Sub Scorcher in 5'11 (29 CL). I am looking to downsize. I mostly surf 2-6 ft waves. Most of the time mushy. I am looking to get a board that is smaller with less float, also would allow me to start to really learn maneuvers. What board, or size and dimensions would be good for me. Thanks!

    some might say the logical progression is to just downsize the model you're already riding/used to.

    The Lost volume calculator says someone your weight and skill (novice) can go down to about 25 liters vol. That puts you on, at least, a 5'6" Sub Scorcher.
