Surfboard Mini

Choosing my new surfboard.?

I don’t want to hear anything about speaking to the guys at my local surfshop.
I’ve been surfing a 7′8 bic mini-mal for the past year and have progressed very well and now are very good on this board. I’m ready to move on and start riding a shorter board that is more manuverable. I live in Wales, UK and my local surfbeach has usual 1-3ft waves and on a good day they reach 5ft. I surf alot in southern england in places in Devon and Cornwall. I’m going to Newquay for a weeks surf trip and want to buy a new board. I’m 14, 5′10 and weigh 9 1/2 stone. I was thinking about buying a fish, but what size?

Since you don’t want to talk to guys in the local shops, you are just plain out of luck unless somebody else who surfs where you do happens to be reading this, and gives you an answer.

Maybe you should talk to local surfers who AREN’T WORKING in a shop, instead of a bunch of strangers on line. (Most of whom have no idea where Newquay is) And while you are at it, don’t brag too much about owning a Bic. I guess a crappy board is better than no board at all, but Bics are certainly at the bottom of the popout food chain.

I had to get up early this morning and get down to Coolangatta Beach. One of my surfboard hire clients was checking out early and needed 1 mini mal and 1 short board picked up before they left. So up I got, arriving in Cooly before 7am.

On Australia’s Gold Coast, Coolangatta is about 30 minutes drive south of Surfers Paradise, and like Surfers Paradise, has been made famous by some of the world class surf breaks in the area. Surfers Paradise at the north end of the Gold Coast hosts the Goldy’s best beach breaks, the waves form on a shifting sand based ocean floor, picking up lots of swell. While Coolangatta at the south end of the Goldy is more famous for the world class point breaks of Snapper Rocks, Greenmount and the like. And these points, though not able to pick up as much swell as the northern beaches, definately host the best waves of the area. On their given day, the waves can bend endlessly around the points. A surfer can kick off a wave due to fatigue rather than the wave ending.

Not this morning though. This morning on arrival, the waves were less than a foot, clean as they get though with no wind to speak of. Having picked up the rented surfboards, I decided to have breakfast at a lovely little cafe on the beach front and see what happens at our beaches when there is no surf.

In looking around, it pretty quickly became clear why the Gold Coast in Australia’s northern State of Queensland is one of the premier beach holiday destinations in the world. Its only 7am in the morning and there is already so much happening. Obviously the 24° water temperature helps, as does the balmy 26° outside temperature, who wouldn’t want to go to the beach.

In the water, there are a couple of polynesian style surfers out, with those big stand up boards and paddle, enjoying the tame conditions with a couple of long boarders. As well as a handful of swimmers, swimming between the flags, trying to catch a little breaker on the shore edge.

At Coolangatta beach, the water is met by about 50 metres of clean golden sand. There are already a couple of groups of girls out in their bikinis, improving their tans. Ha, given how early it is, its probably their last day here and they want to get that last bit of sun before they go home. Small groups of runners and cyclists whizz past on the designated park tracks, some early morning exercise. And far out in the ocean, there is a school of whales making quite a spash on their migrations, much to the amazement of many passersby.

I observe this all from a chic little cafe, where a pretty waitress serves me my latte and eggs benedict. As a local, sometimes it is time well spent just to sit back, recognise and soak up the things that so many other people travel the world to come here and enjoy. I hope you manage to share the beauty of our home one day too. Life really doesn’t get much better than this.

And if you do, don’t forget you can find everything you need for your holiday at Gold Coast Surfboards. Book it all from one convenient website.
