I have a couple of Laird Surfers and love these boards but I'm considering a 14 foot board for "surfing". I want to catch the swells 200 metres off shore before they break and also be able to ride knee high bumps. Does any one surf their Dart. I wonder if it has enough nose rocker to stop it pearling and tail lift/rocker so I can step back and lift the nose for turns. I also want to paddle on flat water but don't race. Just leisure
