1st shortboard

[megsurfgurl]

hey,
At the moment i ride a 7ft3 minimal that ive been riding for about 2years. Ive gotten really bored of it now, because i feel i can not achieve much more on it. i am looking for a more challenging board, that i can perform on and learn more tricks and turns, & ive been told that a shorter board will help me do that. I am 14years old, 5ft3ish and weigh about 8stone-8.5 stone (sorry i cant find any weighing scales!). & i surf down rest bay, in wales, so the waves arent that big down there. I go surfing about once a week, but in the summer holiday, im pratically down the beach most days.

If any one could tell me a size that might suit me, or even a board company that is good, i would really appreciate it!

Thankyou!

Hey!

I know a kid who is about 14 now (a guy) and a similar weight..he rides a 6'8 and a 6'10. Something that has more volume than the standard shortboard!

Good luck

so on your 6'10 you can do like tricks, and turns and practise things like cutbacks and harder stuff?

thanks for your help! =]
