welcome to the forum, i like you are new here!![]()
i was pretty much in the same boat as you last week. i was looking for a board that could help me progress, one i could keep for a fair while.
i started looking at the BIC's and NSP's, but felt i would outgrow these fairly quickly, (good to start off with, not so good to progress with). so after those boards were out of the question i narrowed it down to either a Take off, Circle one, or hawaiian soul.
i asked around on here and gained some awesome advice. after looking around for a while, doing a bit of investigating, i eventually went for an 8' Hawaiian Soul mini mal as it's hand made + it cost me 310 squid c/w bag, leash, fins and wax. i'm 22, 6'5" and weigh about 15 stone.
so basically i would go for a custom like that Escape rather than a pop out (dont forget that you'll need the rest of the kit aswell, boardbag etc )
P.s sorry AGAIN for the long post
