Hi I’m just wondering if this surfboard will be easy enough to paddle and easy enough to turn for me?

The board is 5’7 19 3/4 and 2 3/4 and 29.3 litres

I can do cutbacks and land snaps about 40% of the time.
I am 6 ft and 66kg with average fitness because I have been sick and unable to surf for 2 years. I will be surfing in 1-4 ft waves. Thanks

It will be easy to turn for a good surfer

It will be sort of easy to paddle for a fit paddler.

Are you either of those? If you are coming back after 2 years out of the water, you might want to start with a much bigger board for a few months

Easy to Paddle - NO
Easy to Turn - NO
Too long to explain, but surf boards ( like a Mac Book, Baseball bat, 1000cc. superbike ) have no potential on their own. If you're up to it, it can. But we haven't seen you surf or know your true level from what you wrote.

What size board were you riding 2 years ago before you got sick ? I would go longer and wider than what it was.
