Looking at getting a 7.6 Vouch Rolled Vee for the local beach breaks. Anyone had any experience that they would be happy to share?

I personally do not care for them that much. Yet you must be after a old school feel. Have you ridden one before? If not what is making you want to go down that path?

Good for the points.......not sure about the beachies. Had a go on one the other day I think it was around 7'10 went good down the the line.

My brother has a 8'0 & he rides it on smaller days in Bali (he lives in Sanur)

Thx guys. A month or so ago i spent some coin and bought my first longboard. Felt i was getting old and starting to struggle with the paddle on my shortboards. Iwhile i like the glide of my McT i ffind it a bit boring. So i thought i would try a happy medium by buying a 7.6 rolled vee. Havent ridden one though and am a bit worried that they may not do well in the beach breaks.

Stay away from the vee then. Go talk to a shaper and get a big boy shorty. Here is a 6'10 made for a very big unit

I don't bbelieve anymore that bbecause someone is fat,old,slow etc that they are forced to ride a longboard. A good shaper can make you a board you can still turn

Good advice. Stay as short as you can for as long as you can. Get fitter and you'll enjoy it more.

He makes it look so easy.

I've got a Scorpion which can do something like this (shame about the rider), just wanted something a little longer with a bit more glide.
