To buy or not to buy

I bought my longboard almost 10 years ago, but since I don't longboard much it's still almost new looking. However, when I bought it I weighted 160lbs, now I weight 200,. It measures 9'6 x 23 x 3 1/8, but it has a thinned nose and tail which I asked for so it would perform better. I took it out yesterday and caught a bunch of 1ft waves, no problem, but when I tried stepping on the nose it sunk LOL.

So, get another? pro: I could noseride and probably catch even more if fatter wider outline Con: I don't longboard much so should I bother?

You may not receive my advice well, but fortunately we're not unknown to one another. My suggestion? Lose 30 pounds! You'll be healthier for it and save money otherwise spent on a new long board.

yes, loosing 30 pounds would solve the problem. And speaking of saving, if I stop drinking beer and wine and eat less food I will save money too!

Fat noseriding alcoholics... the worst of all possible worlds.

So today was 1ft - 2 ft ankle to knee waves, and I must have caught 20 in about an hour. So maybe I don't need to noseride to have fun...
