Suitable for intermediate surfer

Postby ib2015 » Thu Jul 02, 2015 7:08 pm

So I've been surfing for a while now, and I am currently just renting boards. Would this be a suitable board for me to buy? Im just sick of renting boards and want to progress on the same board. Its 150 euro for bag, fins, leash and board. Its also a pointed tail

Not really, it looks like a semi gun or gun (board for big waves). You'd be better off on something else, which can be advised after you give us some more information.

It looks a lot like the primitive 'big guy' model (primitive is actually an Australian company so the board has had some travels). If it is, it's basically a short board for big guys or for bigger waves. Close to a semi gun I guess.

It's not the best board for someone coming off rentals. You can definitely do better; and if you are surfing small or weak waves (under 5ft faces) then it could be a struggle at times unless you surf it as a short board - which will be hard unless you are a big guy. And already know how to surf short boards. But its a better choice than a 6ft board
