[lovestoskim]

[flskim112]

im 13....im not real big into surfing and i need a bigger board than a 6'3 18 inch wide board......i want to get into surfing more and i surfed a 6'10 shortboard shape when it was supposed to be the biggest swell of the year....im not talking about one of those huge fish tails just like a ....small cut in

[Luff]

You don't want a shortboard that big. 6'10" shortboard? wtf. Get a funboard if you want that big.

I have a board I'm trying to sell, 6'6" thruster. But I don't want to go through the pain of shippign it.

[DJ-NJ]

i have a 6 2 al merrick "mongrel" its a bit thicker itll keep you afloat better,

better for someone learning or not amazing or anything. and great for the smaller swell

im in NJ so if you want to set up shipping lmk.

yea....but i cant go up there to get it...sorry

[Luff]

'Tis all good.

[lovestoskim]

how tall and how heavy are you? in all honesty, you should get a shortboard your size and tough it out. it will be frustrating for the first couple of months but after you get it down you will be stoked you did it that way. just for a point of reference, i am 5'5 135 pounds and my shortboards (depending on where im surfing, excluding guns and mini guns) are between 5'8 and 6'1 long, between 17 7/8 and 18 3/16 wide, and between 2 and 2 3/16 thick. dont get a huge shortboard, you will just look like a kook (a harsh reality).

[flskim112]

im not saying i cant ride my board......i just want a board that fits are usual waves(like 1-3 foot) and i love the 6'10 that i rode........but i want one smaller thatn that........im 5'0 and weigh like 115 lbs.

[lovestoskim]

if i were you then i would get a round nose fish....maybe 5'5 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/4.......you would be able to catch anything on that.

[doubledown]

I have a 6'1" 19 2.5 round nose fish shape that will be plenty big for you. I'm 6' 190 and it floats me just fine.

250 and it's yours. Only been used a couple of times.

thats the kid of fish im talkin about...but not a 6'7 in that......not like teh ones with the HUGE tail cut-in

[doubledown]

I'm guessing you're talking about a swallow tail which is what mine is.

[flskim112]

if its like the board in the pic then yes....where are you located?

[doubledown]

the link doesn't show a board just the index page. I'm in FL. I travel around a lot, but I am usually in the Venice, Orlando, New Smyrna areas.

[flskim112]

do you have any pics of the board?

[lovestoskim]

dont be a kook

[flskim112]
