Hi all
Im looking at purchasing my first surfboard and seeking a little advice on an appropriate surfboard for a noob
I have been getting out in the waves a little bit of late on my TT's (Slingshot SX and Shinn "the Monk") and absolutely loving it. I only started kiting in Nov 2010 but pretty happy with my progression to date. Never really surfed growing up, but consider myself to have reasonable board skills and good balance as I grew up skateboarding and waterskiing and still ski/wakeboard quite regularly. Back in the day we used to ride anything we could get our hands on behind the skiboat (for a bit of fun), old surfboards, skim discs, bit of ply...whatever!
Anyway, my weight varies between 102-105kg, about 6'2" tall.
I have seen a number of boards in the Buy & Sell that I thought may do the job?
2011 Slingshot Coupe - 6' 0"
2010 Naish Gun - 6' 2"
2010 Firewire - 6' 0"
2010 Cabrinha Thruster 6'1" or 6' 3"
Probably leaning towards the Cab Thruster......can get a good deal at the moment
Would this be suitable to get me through the early stages but also keep me going for awhile without the need to upgrade?
Any constructive advice welcome..thanks in advance.
