Hi all

Im looking around to get a board because by the time I finish work my local surf shop is shut up.
Soooo Your not gonna need to answer the same questions AGAIN. :blah:

But im after a rough ball park for size board.

Im 5"9 and 9 Stone which means I need to aim for a 7" board minimum.
Ive been using a 7" Soft board with 3 fins from my local surf shop and im still getting used to it (But still learning)

Finding a board with the right size is hard. Would 7"6 be too long / grow out of it soon
Should be looking at a pop out / NSP boards?

Thanks for reading and post are greatly appreciated
:surfing:

Yea All my local classifieds never have anything that I could use. Either too Big like 9" or too small 6"6
So Im now looking at NSP,BIC etc boards to see how much they are
