Hybrid fish for a Learner?

[TOESoFURY]

Hi, so i have been surfing my 9'2 long board for a little while now, and just recently tried a friends 7'1 fun board, the waves were small, like 2 foot, but i had a blast, it felt allot more responsive than my good old log. And this made me consider a new, shorter board.
So after reading post after post of advice i have found a board that i think will work.
It is a hybrid fish board that is 6'8" long, 20 1/2" wide and 2 3/4" thick.(it is a thruster setup.) Or i can get one that is 6'10" or 7'. I am 5'8" weigh 110 pounds 15 years old. I am a very strong paddler because i have bodyboarded for years. The board can be found here http://www.barronsurfboards.co.nz/shop/surfboard/fush-standard-6-8.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Baron 6'8"would be fine, that shape and similar is my all round good time board it would cover a good range of surf sizes and conditions and the baron boards have a good reputation.

Go for it Russell yourself down and get one, it will be different but at 15 you'll adapt quickly and it will be a lot more responsive.
Tell us how you go! Slip across to Ahipara and Shpwrecks.

I've just bought myself a Barron, Paul is great to deal with. Let us know how you go! Would like to know what you think of the Puffa Fush

I've said it before, but the Puffa Fush is a great name for a NZ board.
