what surfboard is right for me?

i weigh 145 pounds
im an intermediate surfer-i surf green waves 1-5 feet big but i have always been on big soft boards but i want to progress?
what is the board for me any type from shortboard to malibu’s
thanks

You need a board that floats you (at your size and skill level) well enough for you to be able to paddle and take off on a wave.

Don’t waste your time on line, we don’t know anything about you, or where you surf, and we don’t have an opportunity to discuss these things with you. Go to a good local surf shop (or a shop where ever you usually surf) and discuss your options with the folks in the shop. And remember, unless its all you can afford, don’t buy a sweat shop made board (http://bp3.blogger.com/_hPACOtZKKko/RkSTwhvv9kI/AAAAAAAAAfg/QMqBFAtXzQ4/s1600-h/chinaboards.jpg

Or for that matter, any popout:
http://www.mckevlins.com/nopopstory.htm

At the shop, they will discuss what you are looking for in Surfing, and what works best in local surf conditions. be concerned for size and design, but don’t get too hung up on “big name” brands, there are tons of great local shapers out there.

Be careful about taking on-line advice from kids who may know less about surfing than you do, and the internet phonies.

Anybody who recommends a specific size or design of a surfboard to a stranger on line is foolish. Anybody who would take that advice is MORE foolish.

Good luck with your selection. I have been surfing since 1966, and it has been a lifetime of fun for me
