RE: The Toy Story: Why I´ve just bought a new surfboard 🏄
What led you to buy a new board, and what specifically led you to choose that one?

It´s time for the next level. I´ve been surfing with a beginner´s board for almost one year now. That board provided much security and I learned how to read the waves, get up on the board, surf lefts and rights. Now I need one that enables me to be more flexible and to learn some new moves (turns). The new one is a fiber board 6´4″ (6 foot and 4 inches), my old one was a foam board 7´0″. There is still missing a nice painting on it which I will create by myself and then give in hands of a board designer.
Now I just can´t wait to get into the water with the new board tomorrow :)
Do you surf, too?
My surfing is limited to the web, but I always like to learn about why people to choose to upgrade their specialized equipment for different sports.
"Surfing is the Source!"
A new board is an amazing thing, yes, yes indulge! If you're transitioning from a foam board to fiber glass, it is a huge step up. Speed, trim, control, maneuverability will all see an improvement on a 6'4" over a 7" foamie. And most importantly FUN will also increase as you get more and more accustomed to your new friend!
I'm a big fan of Fishes my self, every board is unique, and learning to ride a new board is like learning to dance with a new partner.
Stoked for you, pura vida
Oh here is a pro talking!! Cool! Thanks for stopping by. I've always asked myself where the surfers are on steemit ;)
YES it will be definitely a lot of fun. I tried a fiber 6'4'' in Maldives last summer. First it was hard work, besides the fast board waves are incredibly fast there, too! But then it started to be pure pleasure. An unreal experience.
In two hours I'll be in the water with my new baby.
Yeah, pura vida!!
