first off wanted to say a big hello from the north west (bc) came across this forum about a week ago and its sweet!
was wondering if someone would chime in their thoughts on a board for me.. greatly appreciated.
just at work here now and killing time in a remote camp and want to order up a new board, looking for a board for a new strapless rider. i ride rebel kites
living in north west BC local spot in in a channel, get some decent size rollers, nothing too crazy, 15-25kts generally
on the coast and north island get consistant onshore chop, beach break, couple of feet, slashy type surf, it can definitely get serious at times but i am looking for something to have some fun on the rollers and in the beach break and work my way up to the real surf. (i am not a surfer)
found a new 2010 naish custom fish 5'8, 18 1/4, 2 1/2 i can get super cheap... i am 6'3 202lb. someone already suggested this would be a fun board for me but what do you guys think? i dont expect it to do everything i already know when i make a fall trip down to the island and tofino ill end up buying another epoxy or firewire surf board there but just looking for something slashy and fun for the smaller type stuff...
anyways any imput is appreciated
