Looking pretty average. Might go to queenscliff for a bit though

Josh Farbenblum big S swell my guess freshie will be a close out but Manly worth a check. Will do a check first light and make a call then

Josh Farbenblum freshie? Forecast looking a bit mixed but hopefully will get out as well

Hey mate. I’ve got the same board and love it. Same dims but I’m 6’6” and 100kg, this is the shortest board I’ve surfed by a long shot but seems to give plenty of paddle power and can sink the real pretty well but I’m admittedly a bit heavier than you. I’d say 45L going to be a lot for your height and weight but should still be able to get some good rail engagement with proper body positioning. Of your not surf skating then I’d definitely say spend some time on land practicing because I find that’s helped me alot as well, probably in a similar level kn our surfing progress. Should go for a paddle sometime if you’re keen, I’m up at curly/freshie most weeks
