A little extra nose and or tail rocker will usually resolve the problem. There are many cheap import boards that should work well for you without having to dig too deep for cash.

Soft tops are good to start with as you won't get hurt or hurt anyone one else...and they can take a beating without needing repair....If you can, go to Waikiki or White Plains and rent a board and see what paddles and works for you... good luck ! gk Hi Ken,
