New east coast surfboard help

Postby davidmg1212 » Thu Oct 20, 2011 1:24 am

I'm looking for a new board. I live on the east coast, and this is pretty much the only place I surf. I go out a lot, even when the waves aren't good at all. Right now, I'm surfing a 6'4 NSP fish. It was the first board I bought, and I still love it. I'm getting to the point where I want something a little bit faster with more performance. I also can't duckdive my board ( I only way 120 lb.), so it's hard getting out on those bigger days. Right now I'm looking at the CI Biscuit, Fishcuit, or a custom board similar to the Biscuit. Are there any other boards I should look at? The average wave size I surf is 2-4 feet. Thanks.

Davidmg1212, mate you are going to have to more specific, the only countries I know that don't have an east coast for surfing are Holland, Belgium, Israel, Norway, Chile, Peru, Columbia, Equador and Portugal, this is an international forum don't be chauvanistic about your east coast we have one too :lol:

Now in answer to your question.
You are looking in the right direction for your boards, I suggest looking for a board that suits your average type of day where you surf, going to handling the mushy will cut you down for when your break get good and going high performance will set you back on the mushy days.
If you can get custom similar to what you are looking at tweaked to you home break you be set.
