I'm a 6' 1" 135 pound male surfer. I've been surfing for a couple years now, I never have trouble paddling into waves anymore and I can cutback and I'm starting to get some floaters down. Most of the time I'm in waist to shoulder high waves, but sometimes bigger. Currently I am riding a 6' 2" pintail, but when I took my board in for some repairs, the guy I took it to also shapes his own boards. He showed me a 5' 8" squash tail board that he's selling pretty cheap. It's shorter than my current board but its thicker. Should I give it a try? Or will I hate it?
Thanks guys!
