Hi all,

I am looking to get a board for learning to surf and I think I have narrowed it down to the above??..

Currently on a 26'' wide race board that I'm happy paddling in chop/mush/wind so stability is not an issue. I have a low centre of gravity (short!) and weigh 55kgs.

Any thoughts, advice or opinions appreciated, am I heading in the right direction with these board options or am I way off???

cheers.

At your weight you could even jump down to the 8'5" mana gt which is a great little board. Never ridden the coreban so I can't comment on that.
You could even go sub 8" at that weight with ease but if your learning you may want something a little longer.

See if you can demo the boards mentioned so you can get an idea of how you will go on them.
