If you want to become a better surfer, junk that soulless soft-top, pop-out immediately.
Search the beach, and find the best local surfboard builder. It’s even better if your best local board builder is also one of your best friends.
Then, pay generously for a custom-designed board that should be made to your specifications. But, remember, you may not know what your best specifications are.
