That could be described as "Ambitious" at your level...

And, incidentally, 181cm is 5'11.

yeah, i don't know exactly what the shape is, shortboard vs fish, but it sounds a bit small. if it is a shortboard shape and thicker, if it's of the proper thickness for your size, it's probably going to be corky. i'm about 5'10", 140 lbs and i ride a 6'2" shortboard, and i'm i guess intermediate? i don't know. surfing ability level names confuse me
