First board Question... (Again)

Hi Peeps,

Since i'm starting to surf this month (i've already surfed before) and i want to buy myself a good board.

I was thinking of a Mini Mal/Longboard an 8'6 or something like that...

i Weigh around 75KG (that's like i think 165 lbs) and i'm around 1.87M (that's around 6'4 i think)

Anyway... i was thinking of one of these boards:

NSP 8'6 Southpoint
NSP 9'2 Southpoint
Bic 9'0
Bic 8'4

But are those Bics REALLY heavy? Cause i think that would really suck... That NSP 8'6 looks sweeet... (blue flowers though... but Wax is gonna cover that :))

I already skimboard on a Foam board (Eden 136 Pro S-Glass, similar to a Vic Poly vac large i think :)) So i have some board control...

any sugestions?

Sure, if you thinking of getting a longboard, go with a 8'6.... definitly ge the nsp, there better boards in my mind.

hmmmz ok thanks :)


i've surfed some Bics... but i think they are really heavy,

and when you read the specs on the NSP site... those look really good :D

Anyway the prob is a friend of me, a girl, has the same board :P Ahwell gonna customize it with some Stickers and stuff :) my Own Logo etc..

i got the 9'2 nsp and its not a bad board not like alot of people say anyway its pretty light compared to a bic and there pretty much indestructable as well
