As to a first board, I think you ought to look at some of the epoxy production board lines. They have gotten shapes from lots of the best shapers. And can reproduce them perfectly. So as you rent, try a variety of shapes and sizes to zero in on what you like.
If you tel the guys at a good surf shop know what you are doing they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Then once you have ridden that board for a while maybe then you can find a good custom builder to help you refine the next board towards what you are moving towards.

Cheers Richard
Thanks for the advice, Richard! I am still looking. I would love to get a surfboard for myself for Christmas. It will be like when I got my snowboard... staring at it motivates me to get out there! And I didn't get to go to the snow on Thanksgiving. But I am trying to book a flight to Denver as I type this so I can finally get my butt in some snow! I am running the Vegas half marathon this coming weekend so I am a busy gal! And then I am planning on running the half marathon in Oahu in April... would love to get on those Waikiki waves again! Will keep you updated on my search for a board!

And nostatic! Awesome pics!
