Looking for a new long, 9,0 or 9,6?

[Ferp]

Hello all! i'm new here. i'm looking for a new longboard

9’6” x 22” 1/2 x 3”
Litri: 72,40L[/b]
And a
9’0” x 22” 1/4 x 3”
Litri: 67,90L[/b]

I'm 1:75 cm around 61 kg,

my old long was a 9.0 and I was going to change and go more to a classic style, but I was a little advised against a 9.6 as it is too thin for such a board. I state that I have 6 years of weekly surfing, and honestly I would be more interested in a 9.6 than another 9.0 given the style. Some advice?

Howabout trusting your judgement, since 9‘6“ is the way you want to go, look at the rails and for the thickness you that you want. Look a various models don‘t rush make reasoned comparisons, dissolve any advertising blurb with knowledge

Hei! thanks for your fast reply, i'v decide to the 9.6 but the local shop owner give me some advice about my 60kg thin. And this take me in a big question

Post pictures of each board, I understand the advice on your weight and height, and really a 9ft will do classic style if you do, the board doesn‘t fully determine your style post your old board, that too may be able to nose ride and doing all classic stuff

For your weight and size, there is nothing in your old board that would stop your riding classic style, just choose a good single fin rather than the 2+1 set up the fin should be around the 8“ to 9“ size.

I am challenged by definitions of lightweight log for classic surfing because part of the elements of glide and trim is board weight, not corked up volume.

My prime suggestion, get some peer review or coaching on themas you can change your riding on the board you have!

Also i find the same INDIO longboard one 9,0 and the other 9,0 so, ok about measurement difference but probably what is the best for me? a 9,0 long noserider is good ?
