I'm 41 years old, 5'9" and about 75kg. I started surfing about a year ago...
I learned to surf on a 6'10" funboard. I still consider myself a beginner but I have somewhat mastered pop-ups and take offs and have no problem with that but I'm still working on turning and linking turns... I've got a long way to go with that...

Anyways, I'm now having a custom-made board for me...
I surf in Chiba, japan where the waves rarely reach over 2m and r mostly beach breaks...
It was recommended, by my shaper, that I go with a 6'5" biscuit style board...
Anyways I just want some opinions from other surfers for a beginnerish surfer on a larger biscuit styled board....
Thanks
