Surfboard Epoxy Fish What type of surfboard should I buy?
Hi, I'm looking to buy a surfboard, but I'm not exactly sure what to buy. I live in San Diego and we get surf generally in the 2-6 ft range. I have been surfing for 2 years so I consider myself within the Intermediate skill range (I can drop in and hold the line). I mostly surf a combination of my local beachbreak for the smaller surf days (this spot breaks fast) and a reef for the bigger days, which tends to be more rolly. I've heard a lot of positive things about fish boards. I was looking into them, but I'm not sure whether I should get fiberglass or epoxy, or even get a fish at all. Any help appreciated, thanks!
What you need a surfboard that floats you well enough to paddle and catch a wave at your PRESENT SKILL LEVEL at YOUR PRESENT SIZE. We don't know anywhere near enough about you, or where you surf. And, we don't have any opportunity for dialogue. And you need to be perfectly honest about your actual ability.
Don't waste your time on line, we don't know anywhere nearly enough about you, or where you surf, how well you surf and we don't have an opportunity to discuss these things with you. We aren't your surfing buddies, we don't necessarily surf where you or know anybody who does. Go to a good local surf shop (or a shop where ever you usually surf) and discuss your options with the folks in the shop. They can give you far better advice than anybody out here in 'cyberspace'.
Be careful about taking on-line advice from kids who may know less about surfing than you do, and the internet phonies.
Anybody who recommends a specific size or design of a surfboard to a stranger on line is foolish. Anybody who would take that advice is MORE foolish.
Good luck with your selection. I have been surfing since 1966, and it has been a lifetime of fun for me

The versatile Pocket Rocket is renowned as the ideal first surfboard for grommets as much as it regarded as an excellent small-wave board for accomplished surfers of approximately 45-70kg.
