Hola a todos:
Soy nuevo en el foro.

Llevo menos de un a?o con olas. Aunque sean min?sculas, me meto en el agua todas las semanas (mar plato, removido...)

Di unas clases con una tabla de unos 165 litros, y me compr? una JP Australia 9'6x31 del a?o 2013 para probar si era mi deporte sin gastar mucho.

Despu?s de engancharme, mi pregunta es:
Notar? mucho la diferencia con una tabla actual?
Mido 1'79 y peso 85kg
Empiezo a hacer giros por mi lado bueno, las condiciones de mi Spot son de olas medianas/peque?as.
Alguien puede orientarme que tabla comprar, y si convendr?a bajar algo de litros, largo o ancho?

Gracias de antemano!

Hello everyone: I'm new to the forum. I've been surfing for less than a year. Although they're small, I get in the water every week (flat, rough seas, etc.). I took a few lessons on a 165-liter board and bought a 2013 JP Australia 9'6x31 to see if it suited me without spending a lot. After getting hooked, my question is: Will I notice it? How much difference does it make with a current-oriented board? I'm 5'7" and weigh 180 lbs. I'm starting to turn sideways; the conditions at my spot are medium/small waves. Could anyone advise me on which board to buy and if it would be worth reducing the liters, length, or width? Thanks in advance!

At your weight I would look at something in the 125-135 litre range. Also in the 8'5 -9 length depending on the conditions. Something like a Starboard splice, sunova ghost, JL striker/destroyer, smik hipster. There's a lot to choose from depending on how you like to surf. If you like nose riding you could also get a longboard style. Dropping down to a reasonable size should definitely increase your enjoyment. Just don't drop too small as it will likely drop your wave count.

Thanks for your input, it's helped me a lot. Best regards.
