I want to get a smaller surfboard so I can do more moves and turns??

Question

I've been currently riding a 7'2 fun board (7'2 x 21.25 x 2.75).

I'm about 6 feet tall and weigh 160 pounds.

I can do some basic movements on the board, maybe I'm not being forceful / powerful enough, or the wave isn't powerful / big enough for my kind of board, but I feel like I could do things like cutbacks if I had a shorter board.

Can anyone suggesting some good dimensions I should go with I if I want to achieve this? Or should I keep on trying with my 7'2 funboard?

I'm thinking maybe 6'8, or 6'6 would be good? Would 6'4 be too small?

Answer 1

Tune........

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

6 4 would be to small for you
