Ive found this board second hand on a website. Its 6"6, 21 1/2 wide and 2 1/2 thick,. Its a hand made aloha and hes saying he'd take £180?
I'm starting to turn a bit and can ride a wave stabily. I ride fairly big waves (headhigh usually) in Ireland. Would this board work?

p.s. im 5"8 and 9 stone

It's possible it could work well for you.

What are you currently riding?
