your reviews are very helpful! I've been surfing longboard shape Stand Up Boards and considering a classic prone board to surf as an option. I'm 5"9', 140 lbs, fit 60 yr old, surf Montauk year round. Which longboard would you recommend as the easiest, most forgiving for a beginner prone surfer?
Thank you Trip. Your reviews are spectacular. If you're 215 lbs and riding a 9'6", what would you recommend for a 170 lbs standing 6'1"? A 9'2" or a 9"4?
6ft, 180lbs what board should I get as my first proper longboard? I want to start walking along the board and nose riding. Surf in UK surf. Any suggestions?
I am 5' 3 roughly, 120 lb, would a 9ft model t or itp be ideal? could I go even bigger; to say, 9' 3? Or would I be better off with a bit shorter 8' 6 being that I am such a small frame? (looking for my first longboard, mainly for chill surfing, learning to noseride etc.) Thanks for the input!
MrSurfnurse103 If you want to ride the nose, definitely don't go smaller than 9'0". You can go as big as you like if you want to have a longer board for some extra room to walk around, but at your weight a 9'0" board will be plenty of float and glide and give you plenty of tip-time when you want to nose ride. Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato REAL Watersports
Thanks for the infor nHow is this board compared to stewart redline 11? NJ, east coast is where i will primarily Surf. Looking to purchase either boards coming off a 9ft odysea plank single fin. Thanks
For a board that covers the widest range and works well for nose riding we recommend a 9' ITP at your weight. If you want to surf the absolute smallest of waves with maximum glide you can go longer but this will sacrifice turnability. We have a few in stock but check out this lovely green nosed 9' ITP www.realwatersports.com/takayama-in-the-pink-pu-poly-9-0-38791
