I've been riding standard shortboards for a few years. When I say standard I mean PU 4x4+4.

Looking for something stronger. Way too many snapped boards and lost fin plugs. I may go back to EPS/compsand but right now I am considering stronger PU - still need to speak to the shaper though.

I'm a lightweight at 67kg but hammer my boards with punting and shorebreak. Board might be a Vader copy 5'0 x 17 x 2 or standard shorty 5'7 x 18 x 2

What has worked for people and what was too heavy? I had an original PU Drifter which was 6x6+6 I think, and that felt about right. I am wary of ordering a new board and breaking it, but I don't want it too heavy/rigid either.

Cheers!
