Hmmmm 7'8" sounds like the fun board type. rounded nose, fairly wide (173/4"). Great beginner board. So how long you been surfing with it?

Thats pretty much what it was. I started a few years ago. It's very thick so its a good board to learn to get up on. I'm just tired of having to jump waves on my way out, I wanna cruise under :D

I have only been surfing for a few years, I'm no pro but I enjoy it. I like the thought of a lifelong sport, you can be 5 or 75 and still surf. Thats why I also enjoy golf and tennis.

Depending on your wieght you could still duck dive your board. I have a 7'4" that I duck dive with. Just have to lift your back leg up while you sink the front end of the board under the water. You can also turn turtle, that is where you roll over on your board and wrap your legs around it. your body acts like weight and helps to pull you thru the wash of the wave.

I'm pretty light so I have to throw all my weight on the front and still end up with a face rape of wave.

I surf the NJ shore, so there's no big waves to worry about.....

Sea Isle City, NJ.....its very close to Avalon, Stone Harbor, Ocean City, Wildwood...etc.

The waves get good sometimes, but they are mostly small.

i used to live in oc... until we moved down here... :dunno
 
Yea I live in va. bch. When I get to surf I usually head to the base. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can make it to obx. Las t time I was there I went to the state park.
Fathers day. It was about Chest high. Alittle blown out. Made it to buxton later that day, it was cleaner but smaller. The water is sooooo much cleaner down there. I hate surfing up here.
