Hello I am new to Swaylocks, I am currently looking for a new board and wanting some advice, I will try the local surf shop also for advice but its good to get it from a few more people rather than just one shop guy. I would class myself as a learner, I can catch a wave and ride along it with a few turns here and there, I am mainly surfing beach breaks in New Zealand’s North Island around the 2-5ft mark, And just like to go fast and carve the face rather than vertical surfing. I am about 5’10 and approx 100kgs.
I have been thinking of getting a something other than a standard thruster, I really like the look of the Haydn Lewis Boards http://haydnlewis.com/ and was thinking
about either the Free range, San Diego Twin, or the Quad Fish, and have also been looking at some of the JS summer series boards in particular the the new Blak box model. http://www.jsindustries.com/_webapp_456024/Blak_Box
All very different boards I know, So if anyone has any good suggestions on boards or sizes for someone of my skill level it would be much appreciated.
