What's size should my shortboard be?

Postby ryandavis23 » Tue Dec 13, 2016 8:06 pm

Hey guys I'm looking to get a performance shortboard. I live in socal, and I'm specifically thinking about the pyzel flash. I'm 5'8 and weigh 135. What size do you think suits me best?

1) What make, model and size board are you currently riding ?
2) What did the board volume calculator say to get ?
3) isn't Performance Shortboard a oxymoron?

Only if you are a beginner :)
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Or did you mean redundant?
