Hi everyone. I am moving from North San Diego to Dana Point for the summer and am thinking about getting a wider board shaped for the breaks there. If I go from my current 6’4 x 19 to a 6/4 x19 3/8 while keeping the other dimensions very similar, will this be a huge sacrifice in turning? I weigh 185 lbs.
Seems to me like you are going from slow moving waves to slower moving waves.
Yes, if you are sensitive, depending on actual wave you are riding.
You can also ride a 5’6" x 22.5 fish and do well 95% of the days.
Heck, get a McCoy with a 17" tail, thick, blocky, and floaty.
