Delivery & returns

Par exemple, dans mon cas, je fais environ 70k et je considère avoir un niveau Intermédiaire/confirmé. Selon ce tableau, je devrais surfer une planche d’environ 27 litres. Cependant, dans mon cas, je privilégie les planches plus larges et rondes, donc mes planches font en général autour des 30 litres, voire 35 litres, comme ma Randy Surftech 6.0.
