Board Recomendation?

Postby Trickster » Mon Aug 27, 2012 11:05 pm

Hey Everybody. I have a question about boards. Im 5'1'' and 105 lbs and i just came into the intermediate level. The board i've been using a Chas 6'0'' seems too big for me. Im looking for a board with good paddling power. I think that the Channel Islands Neckbeard around 5'8'' - 5'10''
Any suggestions?

One thing I can suggest, that once you start thinking you are ready to upgrade your board and you feel it's right then your own judgement will probably be the best.
We don't really know your surfing, when I feel to upgrade I keep the old board for a while and surf both.
I often try to get a surf on the board I am thinking of.
Time to trust yourself somewhere in the process! :D

105lbs almost anything would dp, but it's good that you are doing your homework. What are the rest of the dimensions of the Chas (by the way, Chas Wickwire makes really good boards).
