Hi all-

Had my old surfboard (6'5) stolen recently while camping at byron...

About to get a new one and looking for some advice.

Im (almost) an intermediate surfer, but not really aggressive through turns or manouvers. Looking for a good all-round board, bit cruisy, bit more forgiving maybe than a performance shortboard, but still nice and loose to throw around if i want.

Does anyone have any experience with a Webber Compact Disc?
Check it out here- www.webbersurfboards.com/cd.html

Or one with the same name by walden:

Look like interesting shapes and prob a bit of fun.
If anyone has tried either of these i'd really appreciate an opinion...
Or recommendations of others boards?

Thanks

with out your weight it is hard to advise you. But things that really help in a board are
1) a nice soft rail, by that i mean quite full, nice round shapes is what you want. You will have people that tell you a really hard sharp rail with a rolled deck is the go. This might super man (god there are so many of them) but it will not do you any favours.

2) width is good, not fishy, but good width. 6'4 or 6'5 and 19 wide will be forgiving but still rip. It will help you to surf well more often. Us mere mortals should seek boards that help us to be consistant not become super heroes.

3)thickness is hard for me to comment cause i do not know how heavy you are. But beware the tooth pick, again if you are a paddle guru you can ride a tooth pick. Get something thick enough to make the paddle easy. It is hard enough to stay competitve in the water with out shagging your self with a board not floaty enough.

Webba is hot except they really benifit hot surfers. If you have some cash seek out a shaper and have a chat. There is nothing like getting a custom. Make sure you talk to a couple, if they both suggest the same type of shape then your on a winner. Madda shapes and designs at Miami rocks-

Feel free to drop me an email if you wanna chat
