Hi, I am beginner in surfing (I started surfing on my vacation last year and since then I was surfing 5-6 times). I was living in Northern California and mostly I was surfing on board 9'. I am moving to Poland and I will serve there on baltic sea. I would like to buy myself surfboard because I am planning to surf once a month. Knowing that there are much smaller waves and season is shorter because of the winter, what board would you recommend? I would like to point out that I don't want to buy another board in couple years so I am looking for long-term purchase.
