Can you not borrow one to have a go? if you do that a few times then you'll get an idea of what it's like and be more confident in the decision you make.
What do you surf on just now?

You've obviously been thinking about it for some time. No one can really tell you to buy a board or not, it really depends on your circumstances and if you've got the spare cash. I'm not an expert on different makes of boards so I can't tell you if it's a good one and if you're getting it for a good price.

Do you know that you can buy used boards? And you can also re-sell your boards if you're ready to switch size.
