First of all my apologies for this being my firtst post, but I came across a good deal for a new board and would like your advice.

I'm a dutch surfer and been surfing for 15 years. I am 1,81 m (5 foot 11) and 81 Kg (180 lbs). I already own a couple of boards, but no mid length or longboard. I have a 6'0 bear twinfin with glassed on fins, a 7'0 Egg and a 9'0 SUP.

I have come across a Surftech takayama in the pink 8'6. I can only find reviews for the larger boards. Does anybody surf a 8'6?
Is this a decent size for me? Or do I have to go bigger?

I want to surf this in mediocre dutch surf en decent to good surf in France and Spain.


I'm looking forward to your replies and hope to be an active member here.


Thanks,

Jim
