We are pretty new to surfing and purchased our first boat last year at the end of the season. Prior to that I've surfed two friends' boats and used about 3-4 different boards. My wife and I have progressed pretty quick and some of the others who ride with us, not so much. The boat came with a Hyperlite skim board and I have no idea which model. It only has one fin and is pretty reactive, my other friends who have experience seem to like it. We also bought a Ronix Marshmallow Thrasher, it was the last board left, but it's a very boring (slow) board to ride. It feels like riding on a paddle board, so it's probably good for those trying to learn. I'm leaning toward both a Doomswell Drone and a Phase 5 Model X just so we have a few more boards in our quiver and something to progress on. Every one who rides with us is under 180lbs, so I'm thinking shorter versions of the two. Any thoughts for those of you have ridden a lot of different boards or my choices?
