 I have a 6’6” Tolhurst Fish which is a great board but a bit challenging for an old fella to pop up on. So I bought a 6’10” one exactly the same. I’ve had a terrible time on that. It takes off like a rocket and I have even more difficulty getting to my feet :roll:
Junior took it out at Crescent and tore it up on his backhand. The board looked really good. He used to like the 6’6”.
I’ve had a similar experience. Was riding a FW Seaside and enjoying it. Then bought the longer Sea Side and beyond. For me way to fast on take off for any decent wave. Goes ok in weak 1-2.

I'm loving the look of the McTavish Super Stock Mid:

Yep, not cheap, mind you, McTavish's board quality is superb.
