I'm now going with a different/bigger board having read the replies and comments.
At 70 you should be enjoying every moment, a wider board will be the best choice IMO. You should get a decent price for the Speeed as they're in demand.. Hope you get another Sunova.. 8'10 Flow perhaps ..
Thanks Sunny, you've confirmed what I've been thinking. I'm definitely going to demo before I buy this time. If I can demo another Sunova I will, but all brands are in the mix atm. I think I won't be up for a newie for a couple of months and maybe the Speeed will grow on me in the meantime. [But I doubt it] I really appreciate all the advice from more experienced sup riders.
