HELP!!! What kinda board should i get???

Postby pbash » Thu May 03, 2007 7:14 am

I'm 6'3" about 240, but not real fat, just buff (FOOTBALL player). I've surfed for about 4 years. started on doyles, then longboards, and at one point a sick 6'6 tri-fin shortboard with some fatty rails. but i was smaller then bout 6' 200. My shortboard broke in some gnarly beach break and i sorta just stoped surfing, excep for the occasional longboarding session with some friends. And well, its time for me to get a board again. But i dont know what to get. Been thinking maybe a fish board, a gun/long shortboard, iffy bout the fun shape, and maybe a shortish longboard. What style and size would you guys recomend? BTW i surf the santa barbara/ventura coast.


Please HELP!!!

Thanks,
Patrick

C'mon little bangy head man, where are you? Are you hiding? You are? Oh, you have a headache? Im not surprised - you have to bang your little head against that nasty brick wall all the time dont you? Here you go, here's some ibuprofen. Yes, and a glass of water, of course. Feeling better? Yes? Okay then, you're on, give it your best...

:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:


Oh, that was a good one - well done. Oh, you want some more pain killers? Here you go. You go back to bed, I'll call if you're needed again.

Patrick, you cann't be any bigger than this dude. I suggest you get yourself another board (any will do) and start paddling.
