Hi folks,

My son has just turned 8 and has been surfing since Xmas on a 7ft softboard.
He's picked it up quickly and can paddle into small crumbly waves and stand up.

How soon should he have a crack at a fibreglass short board?
I expected he would be on the softboard until next summer, but kind of curious to see if he can click with the proper board. I don't want to dent his confidence, but I see young grommies on glass boards all the time that look the same age.

My biggest board is a 6'3" fish.

thoughts?

Cheers
