Hey ... I'm planing on getting a board this summer and I was wondering if I could get some advice on what would be good. I've done a bit of surfing before and I was getting past beginner but I haven't surfed alll this year. I didn't have a board before, just used whatever I could get my hands on, usually 7' or longer. I'm pretty fit, but my paddling could probably improve, female, 65kg.
hey nimras have you got a board yet? i would be looking at something like about 7'0 to 7'6. they are a heaps good size for girls and are really good for the stage you sound like you are at. they will make it easier for you to paddle and catch waves and then also to stand ride and are a really versatile length and board. there is nothing worse than seeing someone who has started surfing is really enjoyin it and then goes and buys a board too small for them and so struggles paddling, catchign waves and ridin it so gives it up and forgets about the sport. you are sooo much better staying on a longer bigger board for that extra time if you havent got a board yet - where abouts are you in Australia? if you havent got one, we can get awesome boards for you at really good prices cheaper than retail as well as accessories like O&E covers and leggies wb if we can help you out n we'll giv you our website to look at
