How come there's no 6-8 foot??

I'm happiest and have fun in 6-8' but I do like the adrenaline rush of bigger waves

I just HATE the wipouts and thinking I'm going to die

8 to 10 ft face is ideal. I go out in the bigger stuff but get to tired real quick on the paddel back out.

I think between 4 -6 ft (faces) are class, anything over that and paddling into a wall that is about to dump a whole ocean of energy on top of you is one of the most scary things(specially when you can't duck-dive like me!!)

4-6 ft not bad for me do like them bigger lol

4-6ft for me , but I'm talking a proper 'solid 4-6ft' which is actually pretty big really (i.e. well overhead), not your actual tape measure 4-6ft face... which is erm... exactly 4-6ft on the face !

damn, i voted before i read it was measuring face size, of well.

Id say overhead to 1.5x overhead is best, plenty of power and easy to get speed (no pumping like a madman to make sections), big enough to have some consequence and thrill but not so much that it panics you into playing it safe.

i understand how to measure the face, don't know the foggiest about the other way.

Something overhead is good. Like Gower said..no pumping..non of that stuff. Although I do like it when it scares me when I go for a snap or a floater. Might just hit that hollow section and drop outa the sky!
