    Ahh too early for me. Gonna probably go around 9 or 10. Going to look at some open houses at 12 after surfing. Hopefully high tide won’t completely ruin the surf

    I’m hoping to be able to surf my 5’7 in the next few weeks. I’m way too out of shape and rusty to surf it right now. Putting things together on my 6’0 lately

    The biggest board I own is a 6'2 quad fish. I don't have many options. My 6'0 is a chunker though. I posted it before but I think its 6x20x3. I love it.

    I've been on my 7'4" for the most part. It's my shortest board. I want to try a 7'0 to 6'8 and work down a little

    It’s going. May be putting in an offer on a place tomorrow. Going to 2 or 3 places to view as well. We shall see. The one I’m hoping to put an offer in for is on Newland and Hamilton. So super close to the beach

    This middling it was too high tide. Now I'm doing projects in the backyard but just want to bail for waves

    I was out at about 930-1230 and it was good fun. About 12 it started getting too windy and I was far too tired to keep out there

    Go buy a used 6'5 and have at it. Wont be much of a responsiveness change between a 7'4 and a 6'8. If you just go for it, you will learn quick and get hooked on shortboards. Its a steep learning curve, but if your catching waves consistently with the 7'4 you'll be fine.

    I have a 6'5" but it's pretty thin. If I could find something with a little more volume in that size is be stoked
