Surfing Waves

so like, fish or funboard? im so confused. tried searching the forums but couldnt really get a clear answer. which should i go with? some people recomended a fish and some a funboard, but i dont understand each. lol. advice is appreciated. im gonna be in san diego in 12 days. thats where ill be surfing

nonono dont get a fish, its not a beginners board its an advanced board tailored to certain type of waves and a certain style of surfing. I thought youd settled on getting a minimal anyway?

This subjects getting a touch tiresome now, you have to buy whatever you want we've pretty much given you all the advice we can on the subject with your last thread!

sal has started somthing here new age of sw

man im just asking. someone on my last post recommended a fish. and there are sites for board shapers that say fish are cool for beginners. just tryin to find something i can take on my ship. i mean 6'10'' is way easier to find a place for than 8'

Go and rent each one and make up your mind from there. We really can't give you more advise. Your skill set does not allow you to comprehend. With time you will understand but that will happen with time in the water. Some things you have to experience.

you wont need an 8', some in the mid 7s should do, what sort of ship you on anyway? i seen them navy ships and their huge, plenty of room. Just ditch some of those cannon things if your short of space.

well i gotta find room in my shop. i mean, i can put it under the deckplates but that would be risking breaking it, dont wanna do that. but you only get space for your clothes and whatever can fit under your bed and then room wherever you work

go too a surf shop and asks them about it and they will sort u out with the right board for u

okokok. sooooo. i went to this shop in md and talked to this local shaper. i talked to him about what i was gonna surf and he said judging by my size he would make me a 6'0" or 6'1" fish to learn on. 20-22'' wide and 2 7/8 to 3'' thick. i wasnt sure at first and i asked him if i could take one out. taking one out tomorrow. will tell you how it goes. wish me luck.

who's the shaper?

alright!!! sooo stoked!!! just got done talking to dec. getting a native shorty. 6'8'' x 18-19'' 2 5/8 thick. the shapers name is stoney. he does native boards. dec said they are really good. and besides that, i learned that beside san diego, i also have baja mexico that is nearby so im really gonna be gettin some sick surfing in. God Bless the US Navy!!!!!
