New Surfboard

[emende]

I've been surfing for about 3 years now and I know what I'm doing. I'm not a great surfer and still learning and understanding powerful turns and maneuvers even though I know how to do them and pull them off. I go surfing about once a week and have a 6'8" Mark Richards Spitfire thruster. It has great paddle power and allows me to catch waves but I need more maneuverability without sacrificing flotation. I'd like to know what model/length/width/thickness/kind of tail/concave and volume I should use to turn easier and more powerfully.

I am 6'3", 170 lbs, male, I am fit, and I will be surfing 3-8 foot waves.

I've been thinking about a board like a CI Pod Mod, a Hypto or anything related to that.
