>>1933126Did some conversions, we’re similar height n weight. I learned on a board a few inches shorter than that in decent size surf (Dunedin NZ) and was getting rides day 1.
To be fair, i whitewater kayak an snowboard, so it wasn’t much of a stretch to combine the 2.
Keep at it! Fucking sharks everywhere down here put me off though. Ended up using it at the river (see pic) until I broke it on rocks.
My photo, not me - I wasn’t that good.
Oh yeah, find a river wave if you can- saves all the paddling out. Kayakers won’t give a shit, will probably ask for a go, and will definitely have a beer with them for after. (Or as likely, during)
