I been surfing for three months now. I went from a 10 foot foamer to a 9 foot foamer to a 8’6 epoxy to a 8 foot epoxy and now to this baby! This is an arrow 7’3 x 20 3/4. I have rode it about 5 times and I love it! I’m still looking to get shorter though. I’m thinking about getting as low as a 6’0 fish, if possible. But right now I’m trying to “grow” into this board. Seems like I have outgrown all the other boards, especially my 8’6 epoxy. I just love how this thing rocks and the control (which I am learning) that I have on this board. It seems like each new session on this board brings another new innuendo to my experience as a surfer. I’m hoping that I will be able to ride this baby for at least a year before I outgrow it.
This board is easily transportable too. I can fit in my car (no need to put it on the roof). I also enjoy how lite it is, especially walking it out to the beach.
I read in books and other blogs that if you start surfing past your 30th birthday, you’ll be a longboarder for life. I’m 33 and I’m trying to avoid all that. Not that I don’t like riding longboards, they are hella (Northern California Slang for ‘really’x10) fun. Some of the coolest surfers I met are longboarders. But I’m not one to be stereotyped. Hopefully I will be able to get to a short board (a board that is under 7’0) in the future. But for now, I’m loving this board.
