Hi, I'm struggling to choose my board. I'm an intermediate, 70kgs, surf mainly beech breaks 1 to 5ft ranging from average to some great clean lines. I have had short sup shapes learning and sold one recently (which i loved) was Fone madeiro 8'8 140L 32". This board was great but ultimately too much volume. I have a HN 7'8 115L but find the lack of speed paddling and take off position being with prone surfers a pain, on the its fun but too many compromises. At my weight most boards seem to be really short and geared towards better riders than me. Any suggestions on boards with loads of glide in the 8' to 9'2 region around 115L to 125L which would let me take off super early. I'm not concerned with very aggressive moves, nice smooth turns, long rides and long sessions!! There are some nice 9' Longboard shapes evan though I don't nose ride.
Any help would be great..
Thanks
