How tall are you? and how tall is your board?

[Driftingalong]

6' with a 6'3" pintail and a 7'2" fish

6'3" pintail? Is it a single fin? A little odd, do you have pictures?

Seems on modern boards they are only using pintails on guns

I might be wrong on this but i'm sure I read somewhere that Russ Winter only rides pintails (he's the most famous UK pro surfer around at the mo

I bet it is more of a rounded pin or just round tail...

[tomcat360]

Probably. A traditional pin would probably be impossible to surf, due to tiny tail area (wouldn't catch human sized waves)

I'm 6ft 2 180lbs and have 7' 9" Natural Surf 2 minimal

I am 6'2" 230LBS
My quiver:
6'10" santa cruz squash tail thruster for long peeling point days
6'7' round pin tail thruster for heaad high days
6'10" 7S swallow tail thruster slower mushy days
7'2" round tail thruster for small days AKA summer!

[floater]

Im 5'7" ride a 6'3x19.5"x3"!!! This is the board i learnt on, its superfat and fast as hell but a bit of a tank for my size. Saving up for a 5'10 thumbtail. I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm 6'2, and ride a 7'8 mini mal, but am about to downsize to a 6'6 (not sure of the tail just yet)

[Justwan Naride]

I'm 7'6", noob, and ride a 5'5"...errr... wait - it's the other way round...

[rich r]

I can't believe I never posted to this thread.

6'1"

started on a 6'-4" local board that was heavy as hell.

Switched to a 6'-6" InSight, with a squashtail. then picked up a new Lost Mayhem swallowtail 6-8.

Lately, my main board is an 8-6 performance longboard by Surfboards Australia. (Not a mal or mini-mal; not as wide, less rounding on the nose, a bit more rocker, and a flat tail instead of rounded)

[TicTac]

5' 6" (Midget!) with a 6' 7" NSP Minimal. Terrible for duckdiving so hopefully going to steal my mates board for a few sessions, which is a 5' 11" shortboard but haven't got a clue who shaped it but can't wait to have a go of it. Although, bit unsure about taking out the board considering its hefty price tag :S

[RUSS-D]

I have 4 boards right now, and 1 in the shaping bay. My Hybrid Fish is 6'4", my BAT shorty is 6'0", my mini-gun Spectrum is 6'6", and I ahve a very old Spectrum Scorcher (from 1986, I bought it new) it is 6'2". And my new NXTC I am waitng for will be 6'0" tall. And I am 5'9" tall.

[gdude335]

5 something
well 185 cm
i have a 6.6
i really really want a 6.2.
mmm 6.2

[TDV]

I'm 6 foot and prefer to ride a 9'6". Dependent on shape will ride boards between 6'1" to 7' than 9' up.

... i could do with something a bit bigger like a fish/funboard or something as the waves round here dont warrant a shortboard most of the time

Fish's are generally on the smaller side of boards with reference to length... but yes better suited to smaller surf but not limiting.
