A new start!

Wow. I dont longboard much..like once a year :lol: ,but for the last few days I have been longboarding in like headhigh surf to knee high surf and found its just a freakin blast. Soo much ease, and slow curvy movements!!!

So, after all that I might just longboard a lot more now. I always thought in big surf you can only use a shortboard, but thats bull*!!

Anyways, whats a good board for an advance longboarder (Cos I have surfed for a while now short)

PS I heard McTavish but I cant get that here :(

At least 9'...IMO if it's under 9' it's not a longboard (based on longboarding contests generally don't let you enter with anything under 9').

If it matters mine's 9'8"...

About 12 years ago I dived into the sea and thought it was a lot deeper than it was. I totally compressed my spine, and did something to my neck but it's been ok.......until yesterday.

Me? Give you lessons ? Now that's the most funniest joke I've heard so far. Unless you want to learn 7468 ways of falling off from your board disgracefully. :wink:
