Well the time has come I think ive decided I need to switch from a shortboard to a longboard.. mostly due to my age.. Im 31.. but I cant paddle a shortboard for hours I end like I used to be able to lol..
What sort of longboard would you recomend? ive been riding a 6'2" and just lately been riding my 6'4" fish to ease into the transition haha
I've been looking around the forum for a good six months now and have decided to step up after some encouragement from 62mac. I live in Perth and occasionally get over to QLD to surf at greenmount/rainbow. Haven't quite caught up with all the rules out there on the water as yet but am getting there. My only regret is that I should have started this surfing thing about 40 years ago. Anyway, just thought I'd say hello. I have a new board problem at the moment but will elaborate on that after the shaper and I have got that sorted. Cheers Rick
The board has some Carbon Fibre Rods which apparently doesn't add any real strength to the board but takes out some of the flex. You can see them being the black lines out near the rail on the bottom.
I am going to leave it for another week to cure before hitting the water. Can't wait . Here are some pics
