choice of fish.

Postby surfman » Tue Jan 19, 2016 5:55 pm

Good evening everyone.

I allow myself to write this message because I want to get back to surfing but occasionally. I manage without much problem of the take and I never (if possible) in the foam. Once I had a pen that I loved. Currently I am a student and I have not much money so I think to turn on a bic (possibility of lending has friends without too much risk of breakage). I want to take a fish to have a good stability without a huge board (yes I have a Ford Ka to transport so ..).


I measure 1m85 for 65 kilos, so its weight level seems to stick.

If you could enlightened me on this choice I would appreciate it.

sorry for spelling, not my forte.

Sincerely jeans

Don't base your board choice entirely on your transportation. If your car has a roof you can get a roof rack to carry the longer board that you need.

I dig fishes. At 65kg just don't go too small. If you want a fish for a beginner, or in your case, someone that doesn't surf all the time go with a big size. For you I'd say 6'5 but wide and thick. Again, usually we would recommend a funboard, but if size is a problem and you still want a lot of stability and float than yea a big fish will do
