Buying first shortboard

[milogillespie]

Hey guys, I'm a 14 year old boy now 6'1 and 10 stone. I've been surfing my dads 7'6" minimal for a year and a half and been going out at least each weekend for a long session. I live by the beach in England but the waves are normally pretty slack and sloppy. However me and my friends have found a hidden reef break which has quite some power to it but my minimal is a little bit big for it so I've been restricted to bodyboarding it. I've been looking for a reasonably cheap second hand shortboard with a bit of volume. Any ideas? Cheers

You've grown an inch and put on 10lbs since December, hope it is muscle, the boards I suggest before would be suitable now
have a look at this thread again and see if it still suits.

Nice to find your own secret reef
