Hi.

I'm going to surfers paradise for 3 days in May, worth flying with a 6.4 short board or it's too short ?

Cheers,

that probably depends on the surf forecast, and if you are 3 feet tall or maybe you are 120kg and normally ride a mal?

Contact Roy Stewart in New Zealand Tauranga or Mt Maunganui way he has boards that ensure hassle free surfing on the gold coast

Yeah just your standard shorty should see you through. get out of surfers and get across to straddy for better quality.

If you want to get a wave in SE qld, I would suggest an outboard, but if you can afford it then an inboard is even better.

Because you won't be able to get a wave to yourself with a surfboard.
