7'6" Too Small?
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:38 pmI'm looking to get my first board and I've got a buddy willing to sell me his 7'6". Wondering if anyone thinks that's too small cuz it's finally something in my price range and it's in good shape.

I can tell you, that the bigger board you start out with, the quicker your gonna be having a good time.
