Looking for used board and some suggestions

Hey -

I am 6feet tall and weigh 185lbs. I'm fit, 37 years old but only have been surfing one year. I feel I've made some decent progress but want to get better and better. I get out in the water 2-3 times per week, year round and surf mainly Topanga Point, Sunset Pt., CountyLine, First Point in Malibu (when it's not too packed), SanO, and whatever good beach break I come across

i think a good eight footer. maybe a hydro hull from Stewart. go to their website. an eight foot board will help you gradually get down to a shorter board for bigger waves. just less board to manueuver out there. also, check out the bruce jones website...there ios a forum there...ask in there and bruce will answer it.......let us know what u decided on..todd.
