So I can stand up nearly every time on my sisters 7'6" mini mal, should I by a shortboard? Im thinking 6'6"

Question

I can stand up 19/20 times i catch a wave.

Answer 1

don't go down to a 6'6 quite yet just get a 6'10, you'll be suprised how diffrent they feel. P.s Don't get a super pointy board yet  get one with a more rounded nose.

Answer 2

Go get your dream board and master it!!!

Answer 3

What do you do once you stand up?  Fall? Turn? Work the wave for all its worth? If you can 'ride' a 7'6", you can probably ride a smaller board, but what is your real skill level? What do you want of your ride? This is a question you should pose at the beach, not on line.

Answer 4

Well there is no point is you are still not standing up the whole time. I started on a 7ft 2 and now i am on a 5ft 3 Salomon board. You should wait until you have mastered the mini Mal they get a 6ft.

Answer 5

besides standing up can you turn or otherwise control your board? being able to do these things are necessary when considering a shorter board.
