Hi, I'm a newbie who has been looking to purchase a board for mostly flatwater and possibly some small wave surf. I like all the posts I've read about the Sunova line but am unsure which would be best. I am 65 years old, have supped only a few times, am 5'6" tall (short) and weigh anywhere from 165 - 175 lbs. Speeed 9.2 or 9.5 has been suggested. Looking for ease of transport and carry. Any other thoughts? Any advise would be helpful. Forgot to mention I live in West Palm Beach Florida where small waves are the norm.
