I've been surfing for around 2 years, and currently have an 8'4 longboard, which was great for learning on and fun for small days, but I'm looking for something a bit faster and easier to turn. I'm 5'11, 200 pounds and reasonably fit, but my paddle strength could do with improving.|||Take a look at fishes. They're made wider and thicker so you'll be able to ride a much shorter board and still catch a ton of waves. The shorter length will also make the board a lot more maneuverable. Take a look at 9 Fish Surfboards, http://www.9fishsurf.com. Their 6'2" Seared Ahi might be a good fit for you. I believe they ship to Europe.|||big wave riding? i dont think so haha i rode my shortboard today before school in one foot slop. If you practice shortboarding consistantly for two to three months you should be able to ride them decently in any waves.

You go down further than that and you'll have yourself a shortboard which are really fast and fun but designed for big wave riding.
