Hello all, I'm planning on getting a surfboard but I'm not sure what to buy. I've been surfing for 3 years but only occasionally, I'd say I'm a beginner who's rather okay at this (ahahaha). I'm loving it so much I'd like to have my own gears.
My choices are as recommended from instructors and experience close ones, these includes Fish board, long board,short board and mini mal. I was wondering if you could he me choose and maybe say a short advantages/disadvantages for each one...It will be much appreciated. Because of certain aspects, price will not pay a huge role but if one board breaks easier than another then that'll be nice to know.
About me : I'm a female; 148cm (4'9") and 50kg (110 lbs). I want to take it more seriously as a hobby since after a while, I still practically know nothing about it. I've been using the 6'2 short board and 7'2 mini mal. Wave condition around my area are pretty inconsistent, i'lll be around Sumner Bar or Taylors mistake or near that area (Christchurch, New Zealand).
