Board question for a surfer looking for a board to nail « the line 2 » as Clayton say :
Between the CI MID TWIN 6’10 and the boss up 7’0 which board would fit better for waves condition between 2 to 5 ft ?

Hey guys I have a board question,
I watched the choosing the right board series and I’m still a little confused as to which board I should buy.

Im currently at the upper beginner level riding an 8 foot soft top. I can paddle out the back, position, catch waves and pop up with no problem but im having a real tough time turning the soft top to start cutting across the face of the wave.

I would like to move to something smaller because Id like bottom turns to be easier. Also Id like to invest in a board that im going to use all throughout the intermediate stage where I can eventually start working on turns and surfing the wave from top to bottom.

I surf in south florida most of the time, where we get mainly mushy wind breaks. However I do go to some of the better breaks in centeral and north florida usually around like once a week.

Also Im 5’8” and weigh 200 lbs

Any reccomendations for what kind of board I should buy?

Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to see if there's anyone from Ipswich/Brisbane who's also learning to surf. I'm quite new to both surfing and skateboarding, and liking these activities so far at this middle age.
I went to surf on Australia Day at Currumbin, which was my second day of surfing journey where I was fortunate enough to meet Shane and Clay. Their tips, the coffee cup and Oreo biscuits, helped me a lot to stand and catch few waves on the day. I came to how about OMBE, and I've subscribed. A huge thanks to Shane and Clay for their friendly and invaluable advice.
Given the considerable distance, the journey to the surf spots feels a bit long, and I believe it would be much more enjoyable and motivational to have a companion for both learning how to surf and surf skate. If anyone is interested in teaming up or if you're on a similar learning path, I'd love to connect and perhaps we can support each other through this learning curve.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks
Chandan

I think you need to make a date for the first live of September soon if you are going on a trip?

Day one of the make a wave challenge and well... I did not get to surf today. Work stuff... Been a month of work stuff putting everything else on the back seat so I have been rather unprepared and a lot to catch up with.

Lucky the make a wave challenge allows for any surf related activity in the water, and out so I figured I would at least prepare for the month a bit. So I got the old... old...oooooold wax off the board and made a few reminders for the month to come. I don't remember ever seeing this surfboard so clean and shiny before... I didn't want to put back in the sock 😂

As for the stickers, arrows are to remind me of feet positioning, the other a coffee cup of course and another to get it up with my hips forward. 

On the bright side, the forecast was not surfable for today anyways, after this week, the weekend free up again.
