So, I've been looking for a mid-lengh board, and got a deal on a 7'8 x 21 single fin retro winged pintail with down rails ($150). I was actually looking for something in the likes of a 6'9 x 22 single fin. Since i was also in the looks for a board with a good paddling power on the lines of a Longboard, but a log won't fit in my car (and there's no way to place a roofrack on it...) I got the board.
Now I'm wondering, how do you guys think this board will behave on small waves ? 3-6ft ? How will it behave on fat waves ?
I'm far from being a pro and regularly ride either a 5'5 retro fish or a 6'0 shortboard. What I'm looking for : something fun to ride, won't be making tricks on it, has to be easy to paddle since at my place I have to compete with lots of longboarders, but still can't transport one.
I'm asking here wanting to know : do you guys think that the board I got fills the gap between both boards I wanted, because that's the reason I got it (6'9 single fin X 9'0 longboard), or should I keep looking for one of the two?
p.s. I'm aware that I got a tube rider 70's inspired surfboard, intended to be used on medium-large hollow waves. I'm taking it out of it's environment since I won't be riding those kind of waves anytime soon.
