• Answer:

  Although I am sure you will get lots of "advice" the real best answer is to go to a good local surf shop and discuss your skill level, your size and local wave conditions with the folks there. they will give you much better info than ANYBODY out here in cyberspace.Go to a surf shop, not a computer get good accurate information the folks there instead of listening to a bunch of people on the computer who have no idea where you surf. There is NO WAY anybody can give you legitimate answer to this question on line (unless they say "go to a surf shop1") I. After 42 years of surfing, I still get my surfboard buying advice at good local shops in the places where I surf. http://www.mckevlins.com/nopopstory.htm Boards made in Chinese sweatshops: http://bp3.blogger.com/_hPACOtZKKko/RkST...
