I'm 17 and 84kg but I've been riding longboards my whole life as thats just what everyone surfs at my local. I have a classic malibu special blend 9'3 and have had numerous locally shaped 'loggy' boards. I'm tired of big heavy boards and recently had a go of a mates old 8'1. I wanna get something in this 7'10-8'1 rangebut i dont know what. Ive looked at takayama scorpions, eggs and mctavish eightball's, fireballs and sumos but i am unsure on what to get???
An 8Ball might be the answer coming down from a log, but why not talk to a local shaper or borrow one from a mate ? Local shapers know local surf and can give you + and - on different aspects etc...good luck.
Sounds like you have a few on your mind,can you demo any to shorten the list?
