New board

Postby Euan » Mon Nov 13, 2006 10:33 am

I have recently been looking for a fish and saving up for it. But by a stroke of luck my brother called up one of his old mates who has just come back from travelling around australia, thailand etc and he brought a few boards when he was out there.

Long story short He says i can buy his 5'11 fish for dirt cheap but my only concern is that it might be too short for me.

I have a 7'6 minimal but i a shorter board and a fish seemed perfect.

Please give me advise if you think it is too small.
