Thanks new guy . Don't know yet about the turns only got the longboard a week ago and there's been no surf here since . When southwesterlys blow here it is pretty cold and crappy and the surf is flat .. Been thinking about getting one for a while was eyeing off the UFO or UF 8 . Had a surf at the start of the week and it was crap . A bloke on an SUP was catching everything and riding them all the way to the beach while what I was catching was dying in the arse half way there . So got the ****s with the short board and went and bought this old second hand longboard .
Kadillac I did have 3 boards for about a year ( my fish and 2 other short boards ) . Must admit I only surfed the other 2 boards when the fish was in for repairs so ended up selling them both and kept the fish .

as a great man said- don't surf fishes too much, they'll screw up your surfing

Or they'll keep you on a shorter board, and allow you to improve your avg wave count in less than ideal conditions...

IMHO

Don't worry GPA, they can't break my spirit. I am slowly converting the longboard team over to "big fish". It will take some time but I started by getting their king on a big fish. He rode the fish and he liked it

they will still screw your surfing if you overdo it

Thanks Mac don't know why it has taken me so long to try a longboard certainly a different experience to the short boards .
Sorry Kadilac the daughter has already claimed the fish .

That was my plan too. She's very light and been riding a 8' softy, but cannot turn it. Tried a hired 6'8" 7s Superfish XL and loved it, turned easy, wants it. What board do you guys suggest for a 45kg daughter that only gets to surf once every 4 to 5 weeks?

Sold all mine

Chuck it in the buy and sell with picture and hand $14 to Laurie for the joy of this lovely forum

i suggest you buy her a beachside mansion with the wave pool you were going to buy and,put it in the yard for flat days. that way she can surf all the time. good dad you are

But you have the only beach side mansion with wave pool in the yard, where would you live Chrispy?

Most people tell me I talk like an aussi chrispy

or towball might send him a recipe for chups perhaps
