suitable mini mal length

Postby RideH20 » Sun May 29, 2011 9:38 am

Hey guys,

I've seen a fibreglass board with these measurements 7'7x15 3/4x21 1/2x14 3/8 x2 3/4

This will be my first surfboard after riding 8-7'10 Soft boards and occasionally bic's.

My measurements are 5'11 and 11.5stone, i plan to ride boscombe regularly and north devon/cornwall a couple of times ayear.

So my question is, would this board suitable for me?

Thanks

Phil

I could also use some help here. I have been riding an 8' 4 BIC Magnum for about a month and am now ready to buy my first mini mal. Im would like something a bit smaller so am unsure if I should go for a 7' 8, 7,6 or 7,4. I am 6ft and weigh around 10.5 stone. Ill be riding the Witterings, Bournemouth and around cornwall & Devon.

I have this reserved for collection next week.

Hello,
Everybody is different, and we all have different expectations on how we want our board to paddle and float, and respond. I think if possible rent, demo, or try some other boards before purchasing one. This will help you to make a good decision. As you will know what you are buying! If you are only going down a couple inches you should have no problem! Good Luck!

Get a longboard, much cooler (unless you want to get into shortboarding) :D
