So, I've been having a play around with a 6'6 mini longboard, which was great but I want something a touch longer so sold it over the weekend along with a couple other boards.

In terms of midlengths, I've got a 8'1 Mctavish ufo and 8' Takayama Scorpion II but want (don't need) something to fill that void between shortboards and 8' + boards. I'm after a 6'8 - 7'6 Mid-length/egg type board, would like to have a few fin options. Mostly used on a head high beach break and the points.

This is what i've narrowed it down too, would like to know what other people think.

First option is a secondhand 6'10 takayama scorpion - the guy wants $1100NZD for it and wont budge It's a poly one made in Oceanside. Looks good but has a few little cosmetic dings.

Second option is 7' Mini longboard gives me fin options and is brand new http://raglanlongboards.co.nz/index.php/9-stock-surfboards/161-stock-1505945-mini-lb

Third option is one of the GSI Modern love child or Creative Army Huevo

I've only really only got about a $1k to spend and talked to a couple local shapers who want more than that for a custom so rules that option out. my heart says option one, My head says option 2, the wife says I don't need a new board.

What should i get?
