So I've started surfing this year (since April) - having fun, not hurting myself (except for that Sing Rey - damn that hurt!!!) and especiall no one else. I own a fun board (7' 8" Becker) and a 9" Wingpin Harbour (epoxy). These I'm sure you could attest aren't the ideal learning boards for me - however, I can get up, ride a wave. My question - to ride waves 'easier', more wave-count etc. i'm debating on selling these fine boards and purchasing a 10 ' San O or Banana ? I can paddle ok, but others seem to be gliding passed me pretty easily... I'm pretty fit - 5' 10" 185 lbs - i'm thinking that I just need more paddle time? or is it a new board? I don't want to get caught up in the "a new board will solve all my problems" (been there done that with golf !!) Any advise?
