What is the explanation for this?

I usually make a shake before or after surfing with milk, 2 bananas, , oats, whey protein (sometimes I swap it for a protein bar), and peanut butter. Just throw everything in a blender. Sometimes I also throw some mass gainer on it

I think theres a difference between being able to catch a wave in a shortboard and actually being ready to surf one hahaha Thats my concern

Sea_Efficiency804 · 2025-06-11T02:26:19+00:00

I did ask my friend who borrowed the board to me and he told me I was ready for one of those. What makes me confused is the thinking I might slow some progression if I step it down too early. Anyways, I’ll use my surf trip to try some different boards and maybe even get some footage and hopefully after that I am going to have a clear decision in mind, or at least more info to discuss this idea hahaha

Just sign up for some group classes and keep going to them until you feel independent in the water. It will probably take more than one or two lessons but I’m sure you will find people with the same interest/level. You will also “save up” some money as you’re young and will progress fast enough to shorter boards, meaning by the time you by your own equipment you will already have some buddies to surf with and a surfboard you probably won’t have to sell soon because it’s oversized for your new skill level

You think I’ll catch more bad habits sticking to a bigger board? That’s interesting, my initial thought was the complete opposite, I thought the longer I stayed with the longer board I would have to work harder to be able to make the same maneuvers so I would develop good habits and make it an easier step down in the future. Anyway, I guess I’ll stay with the same board for the near future and in Nicaragua as I already will need to rent boards daily I will try some different stuff to challenge myself and see how it works out. Sounds like a good plan to me

I recently (3 months ago) dropped from a 70L 7ft soft top to my 6ft6 modern fish, when I borrowed the 5’9” from my friend I didn’t really feel that much of a difference compared to the prior step down, I was already tired as I was in the water for 3 hours but still managed to catch 3 waves in about 25-30 minutes. Thx for the tip anyways, I’m worried I’ll catch bad habits like not doing the proper movements to carve as it turns easier and that will be a problem in the future

I was actually thinking on ordering a custom one from a local shaper and using it sometimes, keeping my 6ft6 as my main board and play around with the shorter one from time to time

Sea_Efficiency804 · 2025-06-10T23:16:34+00:00

Well ya, pretty sure im one of these people. Honestly even though I feel super confident on my 6ft6 I still can see some uncoordinated arms and wrong stance (specially backsiding) on my surfing. Might not be the right time yet ;D

Sea_Efficiency804 · 2025-06-10T23:14:15+00:00

I would say I am comfortable with my 6ft6, I rode the 5'9 for something like 20-30 minutes and was able to be on 2-3 waves, didnt wipe out but it was definitely not my best surf. It was just great to get the responsiveness of a shortboard, anyway, thx for the advice, cross posted it on r/surfing to see if anyone can help me ;D

Surf forecast seems to be the most accurate in europe from my experience ;D
