Ok, so i currently have an 8'5" Circle One board which I love but I think its time to go shorter cos I want to learn how to do more stuff besides just riding a wave into shore. I just joined a surfclub and some of the committee members want me to go for the intervarsities so I wanna make some more progress.
I'm 5'5" myself and weigh about 135lb. I have my sister's old board too, which is a 6'9" NSP that I can ride into shore in really good conditions but I'd like to get something a little bigger until I get better.
I was thinking of getting a 7'4" or 7'6" approx. My friend reckons a 22" width too. The board I was recomended is a 7'4" D'Arcy (south african) At EUR 550 I want to make sure it's the right move before I buy. I don't know much about the tail shapes or nose shapes so any advice on that would be appreciated. Also, suggestions regarding Brands/Shapers would be helpful too.
Thanks!
