First Board Advice - 7'6 to 6'0 Rusty Dart?

[surf patrol]

Hey,
I have a question I am wanting to get my first short board I am right now riding a 7'6 and I ride it good I was thinking I should get a 6'0 Rusty Dwart should I get it or should i get a different board for my first sort board?

I dunno that's a huge step down. I tried stepping down to a 69 and it was super hard then again you probably weigh a little less than me pls it was almost a mini gun not quite. But if you're not entirely sure try borrowing a 6 and see how it feels.

How much do you weigh and how good are you now?
