I wouuld get a 5' 8" x 18 3/8 x 2 5/16 Squash Tail or 5' 7" x 18 3/8 x 2 3/16 Squash Tail. You will find both to be perfect for flying in the air.

the 5'11. You would make up for that one inch on the rest of the dimensions.

i would say high rocker, if you have lots of waves consistantly 2-3 ft i would go for a squash again, maybe a baby swallow tail?
