Alright, looks like I should go with mid 7' or 6'8, if I'm able to surf horizontal well then only progress to shortboard in future...

Hi, would need your advice for my 1st hard top...

I'm using 8' soft top & I have 5x session on 7' soft top to get used to a smaller board, so I have a smoother transition later...

The wave I'm surfing probaly for now would be Malaysia Cherating Point break & Bali Batu Bolong Reef break. Usually 4ft, occasionally 5-6ft high.

I wonder should I go with a mid or a shortboard?

Mid I'm looking at CI Mid 6'8" 20 3/4" 2 5/8" 40.2L, is this a good one? Or there's better fit for me?

I should also start with plastic fins right? Even with soft top I get fins hitting my leg here & there...

I have a bad habit outsource my question to chatgpt which i really donno it's really telling the truth or crap, I think I need to make use of the community power here more...

Coryn Daniel thanks i will get a bosu ball next to feel it myself...

It's a left point break in Malaysia Cherating, I decided to try my local break & found out it is more than good for me to surf.

Thanks for pointing out how my stacking can be further improved, this is conflicting with my local coach advice, they keep saying to stay lower so I'm more balance & stable, I wonder I should straighter or lower?

The elbow needs to be at waist or chest level?

Yeah I look at some of the Bosu Ball training but I didn't have a Bosu Ball to practice it yet. if I have surf skate do I still need to practice Bosu Ball?

Thanks for the advice which I don't get from my local coach, definitely working on catching myself, there's a lot of knowledge required like positioning & timing & staying relax which I still figuring out...

Hi wanna get ur advice, this wave is pushed into by my local coach.

I should be kissing my knee more?

How exactly is the trimming timing? My shoulder fixed facing down the line? I look and point to the left to go up gain speed then look and point to the right to go go down, but down stay down too long else will be hit by the whitewater like me?
