Gday guys ,
After some advice , its time for a new board and its been that long since i brought one ( usally surf em till they snap ) but im a bit confused about all these new models out there etc ...
So ive hit 40 yrs old now probably not as quick getting up as i used to be so time for a change usally surf mandurah beaches and reefs im weighing in around 95 kgs now bout 6"3 in height and currently riding a clear water monkey chop 6'1 x 20 1/4 x 2 5/8 33.95 lts .
I can still surf alright , definitely not a ripper but no slouch either but after something with maybe a bit more volume and still turns easy , any recommendations on models volume board size etc ,,
Cheers for the help fellars

SDR has a new one called the voodoo or something looks pretty slick similar to monkey chop??? More refined...
i have been eying off a new pyzel or maybe a lost Matt biolis if off the rack.
custom sdr is a winner... katana Dave does the skid and has a couple different boards which you may like.
I get a few off ocean line still, Chris is a exceptional shaper good guy and makes a fairly epic board. ( he does most of my indo boards/guns)
Also for a Down south board you cannot and i mean this you cannot go past al bean... epic epic down south boards he makes some really nice 6,5 6,6 boards for the bigger fellas ( I'm 100kg)
maybe just go crazy get one of each and lay out a ride report

I would go back to Steve, discuss what you do like / don't like / want to change about your current board.
