Hi guys

So I'm a male beginner, 185cm tall and ~85kg and quite athleti, surfing in Scheveningen, The Netherlands (waves are quite small) and looking for a longboard. I stumbled upon two options and I am not sure which one to pick.

First is this 9'6 Firewire:https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/watersport-en-boten/surfen-golfsurfen/m1172461732-surfboard.html?c=be2da871b0d84f75c3056cc6db858f31&previousPage=lr&pos=3
This one comes with leash, boardbag, Dakine trackpad, 3 FCS fin + 1 extra TurboTunnel fin.

And second is this 9'0 Lufi: https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/watersport-en-boten/surfen-golfsurfen/m1185761981-longboard-lufi-gerepareerd.html?c=be2da871b0d84f75c3056cc6db858f31&previousPage=lr&pos=4
This one comes only with a single fin.

Which one do you think is better ? Is 9'6 too much ? Also, since the Firewire is on bid, how much would you advise me to pay for it maximum ?

Thanks a lot !!

i'd say pick whichever is cheapest because at your level you just need a solid longboard.
