Why the hell would you want to surf shin high surf

I'd have thought shin high would be a longboard kinda wave?

well i should have been more descriptive i guess more of a knee to weist heigh, shin is really low once i think about it

You have posted like 6 posts on boards so far :lol:

It looks ok Al Merrick is all about paying for the name why not just get a good starting shortboard 6'4-6'8 or even a longbaord at first until you have the right technique.

If your looking for a board for smaller mushy days then you cant go wrong with a retro twin fin fish or an egg, loads of volume + fish are to much fun

^ Yeah, can't go wrong with a fish/egg in small surf

argh, people people people.... Just because it's an Al' board doesn't means that you should pay twice what its worth..

I rode this Al Merrick 6'0 yesterday and it well and truly sucked. Sure it was quick, but the dimensions were all weird, it didn't turn quick enough...and it was too heavy..

How about you just get a board from a local shaper..or ask a surf shop owner? :idea:
