Hi,

I started with a 9'6" epoxy longboard, and am now using an 8' cheap foam board.

I would like to get either an epoxy or fibreglass board that is a little shorter.

Question is, how short? 7' ? 7'6" Or stick with 8' ?

I surf in the Gold Coast, Qld. Am 33 years old, 185 cm tall, 90 kg.

Thanks!

First thing first, epoxy boards and polyurathane boards are both made with fibreglass. EIther way, if you want to ride a longboard stay with a board >9' otherwise..............you will be riding a shortboard.
