depending on your height and weight a 7'6 should be fine.

Blue boards are australian imports i think :? (mmm not too sure about that) dont know much about them but i know someone who has one and they seem to like it :?

yea a 7'6 will work fine.

i might be wrong here but i think blue boards are the same type of board construction as isle boards - machine made i think.

you are better off going with a second hand board as your first board anyway :wink:
