Surfing Waves

Hello, I've been surfing for a about a year now and I'm feeling ready to graduate from my 8 ft foamie. I went surfing in costa rica over the winter and rented several different boards but enjoyed this one the most. I had a ton of fun with it, actually learned how to go down the line on it. It struck a nice balance between maneuverability and manageability. I'm about 6ft tall so that board looks like its 6'10 -7'1 and its a fish ??? I THNK???. I liked it because it was easy to catch smaller waves but I was still able to duck-dive it when needed. Plus, I drive a civic so I'd like something I can shove in my cabin. Any ideas on what board that is or similar suggestions. Google gave me some ideas but nothing concrete. Thanks!

PS: I know everyone get's off to recommending longboards on these forums but rest assured I had MORE FUN on this board than any other board! I've tried everything from 9 ft longboards to 5'6 shortboards and this is what I decided on. Thanks again!

welcome and hey if it is working. for you that size of board is great.
It is an older model Surftech board logo and label , epoxy EPS foam all good very similar to one of their models I rode for years

You might find Hayden shapes Hypto Krypto Epoxy in the Surftech range or Torq mod fish interesting.

Try looking up: Randy French Soul Fish 6'10"

I had the same board in 5'6" and 6'0". Really fun board especially if you put the Futures CH 450 hatchet trailer fin.

It was a thruster 3 fin, not a quad 4 fin right ?

Thanks for the help guys, it's very much appreciated!! I'll be checking all those suggestion out as summer quickly approaches You're correct, it was a 3 fin. As a beginner, I haven't worried too much about those smaller details, but maybe I should? I mostly surf 2-4 ft. stuff so I can get lots of practice with the basics. What sort of fins would be ideal for those conditions? Appreciate it

Should be equipped for Futures Fins, so just go with the standard "F4" fins in thermotech for now. But I do believe it came stock with the "T1" fins which has taller sides and a smaller center.
