Howzit everyone

I am Brad Labuschagne , I live in Port Alfred South Africa

The waves are powerful and hollow. I am 15 years old and weigh +-72kg, what tail would be nice for a lot of speed andgood turning on 7-8ft waves?? even 5-6ft waves?? All your comments will be truly appreciated

Regards
Brad

howzit brad

unfortunately for you your questions are probably going to get answered in a variety of confusing ways !

There is literally tons of info on this site, but I reckon you gotta drill thru it and try to figure out what could work for you. try some different boards if you can get hold of some.
You want a medium length board maybe 5'10" or so, 22.5 wide and nice thin rails. fins fairly far up the board , fcs or whatever so you can experiment with differnt fin combos...

i reckon only once youve "fooled around" on a variety of boards if possible should you start to try and focus in on what would be the best board for your style, then its a gradual progressive evolution to improve both your ability and your board...that could take a lifetime

I understand what you mean Andy, that board you described sounds pretty sick

ya I will spend some time riding different boards, to see which board suites me best..

kind regards
Brad

Brad, did you see the pics TimM just posted of his new round pin quad, made in SA? Looks pretty nice.
