new board

[grantman]

i can not seem to find the right board, i'm looking for a board for good head hight to 8' days, i have been surfing for about 15 years, 160 lbs., i' m pretty sure i will be getting a js (flyboy, cv8, or bruce model), anyone have any experence with theses models, sugestions would be greatly apreciated for length, width, thickness, i'm now 30 so i don't paddle quite as good as i did when i was 20

If it were me I'd go for something with a round tail in the 6'4"-5" range with low volume rails and 18.25" sort of width.
But I'd just talk to the sellers and explain what level you are at and the range of conditions you will be using the board in and then trust the shaper.
Oh yeah I have no experience of JS boards, but I'm sure they're pretty good just by looking at the team riders!
