Progress from my nsp

Hi folks been surfing for about 2 years now for about 5 weeks each year currently use a nsp 7ft 6 Iam 6ft about 80kg Looking for a new board , find nsp very heavy and difficult to turn looking for a custom board lighter and more responsive I am thinking in the right way. Still thinking about same length been recommended Roger Cooper. Would be so grateful for any advice. Cheers Rob
