is this longboard for me?

[frostless]

So I have been learning on my mini mal (7'6,21'3/4,2'7/8) for a while. But most of the time I still struggle catching waves with it. (i have little experience and I am a weak paddler) To make it worse this board is not too good in whitewater so I sometime just have no fun surfing (being in water in fun though). And after looking some posts in this forum I am convinced that I should leave my ego behind and switch to a long board. I really hope with a longboard I canspeed up my learning process and ride more waves.

But searching for one in the internet is not easy. They are either too long (9'6+), looking too weird (only one fin), wrong colour or are just too expensive. Now I have locked my eyes on this one

How is it？ Is its dimension, shape, volume,curve for beginner like me?

Plus I am 176cm 72kg male. weak paddling. I am planning to learn on it at Greenhill beach cronulla Sydney.

The BIC wIll do just fine, longboards with one fin are not weird unless they are not in the centre box
Get your paddling stronger as that is 90% of surfing. Let us know how you go.
