Wow I was so set on getting a 12'6 race board kind of an all rounder for flat water, choppy water and the odd downwind that was 27.5 or around that wide as I only started in jan this year but am fitness training and want to enter comps not to win to have fun and compete.
But new info has got me thinking that I will need around a 30' wide as it was pointed out that going out through the waves and downwind I will prob spend some time in the drink as im not that experienced yet. Im 77kg, 165cm tall geez told you to much now.
Want to keep the board for a while as cant justify spending more money a couple of years down the track. Aghh please help what width would be suited? Im also gonna demo the boards but need choices first and knowledge. Thanks
