Board advice

[terry]

Hi guys
Just after some board advice from the experts. I am 55 years old, 5 ft 10 and 75 kilos. I am pretty fit. I live on the south coast of New South Wales and surf most days. I mostly ride HP longboards, logs and a Surftech 6 ft 10 Soulfish, which is coming to the end of its life. I was thinking about getting a 6 ft 10 Addvance. Any thoughts on this? I could go a smaller board, but I am not getting any younger.
Thanks for your ideas,

Terry

For the description you are giving you could perfectly be ion the 6'6" Addvance. It alll depends on what you want to get out of the board.
But seems like you will profit of the extra length when it comes to paddle so probably the 6'10" is the right call in your case

Hey Terry, get on up the road to Natural Necessities Surf shop - they have a lot of Firewire demo boards to ride then you'll know for sure

Thanks Goanna

Yep, 6'6" or 6'10" Addvance sounds perfect, probably the former, and demoing is the best bet.

Definitely 6'6.

Definitely 6'6.

You think 6'6" is the way to go STC67?

Thanks guys. I will get along to the local and have a look. Yeah it is either the Addvance or perhaps some thing like a Surftech nugget.

I can't rate this board highly enough for the Fellas like me who don't want to flounder on a HP shortboard. I have already plugged the Addvances ability to handle the steeper sucker stuff but yesterday I was surfing waist high weak waves and the ADDvance was the only option as I didn't bring the Sweet Potato. I was surprised at the speed I could generate and fun I had. Take a step forward and the board accelerates but does not become stiff as a plank.

Well done guys on this design. This board could easy be a one board quiver.

Those new Activators look pretty sexy too.
