Surfing Waves

ive got 2 boards....a "firebird" popout thing and a 6" 10 thruster shaped by a mate of mine(but brought second hand) ive surfed in the past and been in a few times recentlly. should i perservere with the popout or go for it ion the thruster....im 6ft 14st ish

thanks in advance

What do you have more fun on?

good answer......... ive only used the popout so far cos i thought it would be better in smaller waves......i think ill just try the thruster out as well

Can you do a bottom turn and then ride back up the wave and kick off the lip, if so try the thruster. Otherwise i would stick with the mal.

yep,i can bottom turn and ride back up the wave...cant kick off the lip yet though

another question....are the "bic" boards any lighter/better than my popout?

no

oh,ok thanks...you've saved me some cash there i think
what im told is that the surf conditions are raelly great here a mal would be a good thing to have in my collection....would something like an o'shea mal or similar be any good.the reason i ask is cos when i used to surf i had a really good board(zuma jay 7"ish) and i dropped to a wave graffiti 6" and hated it.....could hardlly ever catch a wave with it.so id rather have a board i can ride han one which ust looks good...even if that means having two

well if u can turn and ride the green face then theres really not a lot of point getting a bic. dont bother buying a new board either if you're planning on progressing donwards in size. look for a used minimal or funboard to progress on. you will find it much easier than a shortboard. also if you dont want to keep it when you move on minimals hold value well as theyre so popular.
