Torq Fun Surfboard

ellejamieson · 2017-12-13 00:23:51

Hey guys, Looking into buying my first board. Ive been surfing for a few years now on mostly foamies (sometimes hardboard), I'm currently looking at a Torq Funboard in either 7'2'' or 7'6''. I'm 18yo, 56kgs, and 5'7''. Anyone know if this board is decent? Or if there are any other tips/recommendations? Thank youu! :)

It really depends on how often and where you will be surfing. Also take the width of the board into account, will you be able to fit it under your arm and will you struggle to carry it especially if it's a bit windy. Will you be able to duck dive it or turtle role and be able to hang on to paddling out. Look up "whiteboard wednesday surfing" in google and you'll get some good videos that will help you decided.
