Thanks STC and Gnubee - I had assumed the board was probably too big but you have helped me confirm. I realise the 610 is probably the 'best' board, but going down 2ft (to 702) from my current board is about as big a step as I think I should take right now, especially because I am not a regular surfer. If I had a month of surfing I would get the 610 and figure it out; but like lots of non-coast dwellers I get one surf here, then 3 surfs, then a month off, then another 4, then a break for winter etc.
If I manage to sort out the 702 and think a smaller board is worth a go, then I'll pretend to be a real surfer (rather than 'someone who surfs') and have a 3 board quiver!
