1) Where were all the sizes/types of boards between the 9'0" and 5'9". No 8'0"s, 7'6"s, 6'4"s in your past ?
2) Going down the line just straight vs. going down the line and then ripping a cutback off the shoulder ?

Usually if you need to ask if the boards "okay" for you.............. then it ISN'T.
Why don't you just borrow one of your brother's old boards until you gain the experience to know what works and doesn't work for you ?
