Hi guys I'm kind of a newbie SUPer, been at it only about 6 months but loving it.

I've been riding a 9'2 x 29" 125L YOLO Board, I actually really like the feel but it's starting to feel huuuuuge (which I guess is a good thing). I am 63 kg and almost always ride horrible beach break wind chop, being in southeast florida where we don't really get ground swell.

Most of our waves here are either (a) big and blown out, IE take one whack and cruise toward the beach in the whitewater, or (b) drop in and pray you don't bury the nose and die, turn and shoot down the line at 2 million kph and ride off the back

So I'm thinking I'd like something a bit smaller that I can throw my limited weight around easier with, and prevent dying when its low tide from nosediving

How small is too small? should I be looking for something in the 7' range or is it better to stay larger for wind chop? Current board I'm looking at (it's the right price, too) is 7'2 x 25" at 72 L, thinking that might be a little small... but it's still a lot more volume than a typical "longboard" so I'm not sure.

Cheers for any advice :)

Shot this video last week if it helps get an idea of wave quality. It's our off season so in the winter they look the same just bigger.
