Maybe it is better that YOU tell us which boards you are interested in, then we can give our input. Depending on region/area, there are different brands/makes and models.

Question: WHY do you want to buy a 6 foot softboard being that you are a beginner-intermediate ?

Probably because of videos like this



I'm in a beginner surf group channel. Every week someone links that video and it drives me nuts.

Good for us anyway, they can spend the whole summer trying to surf a 6' board and give up.

how much do you weigh? Unless you are a child or small woman I would recommend something in the 7' range.

I weight 50 kg. I´ve already tried a softboard in 6´and I relly liked it. It gives me movility, but its also very easy to catch a lot of waves. Thats why I want to buy one. Do you know any brands that are not expensive?

I started with a 7 foot, then 6.4 and later a 6, and I was very comfortable in it, thats why I want to buy a 6 foot softboard

Artistic paint style or just change of colour scheme?
