My quiver currently lists at:
-Long board: for the small days
- 5'11 single fin when I want something retro to have some fun (although it is a bit of an all rounder)
- 6'2 traditional short board for when it gets bigger. Grabbed it because I offloaded another board and needed a daily driver and this was super cheap second hand.
Thing is I am really hating on the 6'2 at the moment as I'll admit I'm not as good a surfer and the thinner rails etc and overall shape do not suit my style nor ability. Furthermore I found it easier to get my feet positioned when I was surfing a below 6 ft board as that is what I have been surfing these last few years. As such I want to offload it and replace it. I enjoy my boards with a bit of volume and a more stubbier shape like the hypto krypto but I am not a fan of pin tails.
Anyone have any luck with such a board? Shorter stubbier style, no pin tail but still good enough to ride when waves get good and above head height? Long term wise, this board will double as my overseas board as I don't buy many boards anymore so need a good all rounder.
I will most likely go see a shaper but I just want to gather some information before I hop to it.

Cheers guys, I'm definately going to look up a few of these! Might be time to even jump onto the mid lengths or longboards as just do not find enough time to get out in the water anymore!
