Yes short boards fit better in short sharp steeper waves unless you are 13 keep getting skill on the bigger board then step down.
I think that this is pretty much the narrative that I'm going to follow. I definitely see myself getting better on my 8'. Yesterday I went out in 2-3+ and caught a ton of waves, made turns, etc. If I had my 5'11 I probably wouldn't have caught nearly as many waves as they were pretty weak. I guess I just have to keep working. It'll pay off eventually
