What to buy?

[Dec]

I am thinking of getting a new longboard, but dont know whether i should get a mini-mal?
I have a shortboard that i can surf on..so not a complete beginner!

i am about 5'8 and 70kgs
i dont ride on very powerful waves, but they get like overhead on a good day.

Help!!

what is it that you want out of your surfing? This will help find the answer for you.

What is it about longboarding that appeals to you?

Bear in mind that a minimal is a 'reduced' longboard, with 3 fins for more drive.
As such, you can only perform 'reduced' longboard moves*.

The offside of this, is that it lets you perform drawn-out shortboard moves too*.

(*-generally speaking)
