Pickles it is impossible to advise you we don't know your weight and height
If you have only used soft tops what do you mean by an OK surfer?
What are you able to do on a wave?

Then what sort of slightly 7'5" board, fish, gun, funboard, mini something or other?
Post a picture, and dimensions, 7'5" by ???? width by ????thickness.
Your age too helps the younger you are the more options we can give you.
Read through all the board advice posts they may help you too
