Hi,

I'm wanting to buy a smaller board to improve my surfing.

I weigh 68kg and currently have a Nalu 10'6. I got a bargain on it and it is great fun for flatware and small swell, but I want to have a board for bigger days that i can start to get some tight cutbacks and get steeper on the lip.

I used to have an Allwave 8'11 which was ok but had too much volume for me, the rails were thick and corky. So i'm looking for something with thin rails and a bit of speed. I like the look of the Jimmy Lewis world wide 8'1 as it still has a bit of width and isn't over rockered either.

Has anyone had much experience of them?

Any other ideas? I reckon i am looking for something around 29-30 wide with maybe 115-120 litres.

Cheers, Tom
