3RD Board I ever owned....custom Ricky Young (Bellevue Shaper) and I still have it, is a 7'0/20/2 and 3/4 it is has a thruster set up and a pin tail.
Last rode it in 2001 but in pretty good shape.
For the past 20+ years I have never ridden anything over 6'0.
Would the Ricky Young be considered a step up board for me?

What does a fun gun mean to you? My guess is a skinny-ish long board with a 5 fin option.

Sounds like your new step up is pretty versatile, Major. I dig it. Did you get it local? Personally, been looking at Dan's horse blinders model-- http://www.murdeysurfboards.com/viper-3/ -- I happened to meet the guy who has the featured model and watched him surf it. Looked fuuuuun and seemed to have plenty of paddle power to maneuver all the moving water, which is my primary interest on top of control/stability. I do like the idea of the board handling in a variety of conditions as well, since I'm not sure I'm ready to drop coin on something that only suits the most epic conditions. But then again the most epic of conditions is what I want to ride, so therein lies the dilemma. Damn surfing gonna send me to the poorhouse.
