Small wave boards

Hi i'm a beginner-intermediate [url]surfer from New Zealand[/url] and I'm currently 14,100 lbs and 5.3. I've recently been having trouble paddling and catching waves on my 5,9 JS Lowdown which is probably the wrong board for 1 to 3 ft as I'm not good enough for 22L at this stage. I surf nearly ever single week at the local beach break which is 1 to 3 ft most days.
I've been looking around at a few boards like [url]the Hypto Krypto[/url] and Average Joe because they have a nice load of letres which I shouldnt have a issue with paddling and catching waves with as I catch only a few waves each session hoping getting the right size board will increase my wave count quite a bit. Is there any boards you would recommend or sizing. Im quite hooked on the Hypto Krypto but am no quite sure of the sizing yet. Thanks in advance (:
