guys wondering if anyone can help me, I've been learning on a foamie for about a year, during that time I bought a 6'7 Webber afterburner and 6'5 stretch f4. I think I'm almost ready to progress to a proper board, just wondering if either of these would be suitable? I'm just over 6ft, my weight can range from 85-95kg and I'm comfortable on 1-3 ft waves.
i have tried to research this but cant find the volumes and tbh even if I did I still wouldn't have worked it out.
cheers.

I'd be inclined to give the boards you have purchased a go mate.

Best advice would be to go a board that you have a gut feeling that would work for you. Preferably second hand.
Ride it until it dies. Then based on what you have learnt, liked/disliked you will have an opinion through experience on what's likely to work/not work for you.
Shapers are always a world of knowledge as well.
Try not to overthink it.
As a beginner as long as it paddles well and you can catch waves the board is doing ok.
