What are you currently riding?

Are you catching waves consistently / turning?

That board shown looks like a good transition board. i.e if you want to get into shortboarding that might do the trick. Looks pretty floaty for its size.

yea, board looks like a good size if you can already surf ok (ish). all depends on what you're riding, might take a while to get used to but up to you.
