A gun for big surf isn't really a longboard, but usually are over 7'.
I usually considered anything under 7' a short board, if it was a thruster/fish shape. Then you have the 7'-8' mid-group which typically are fun or egg shapes, and then 9' and up in classic 'longboard' shape.
Plus, if you're 6'5", a 6'10" board is still 'shortboard' for you, but would ride like a longboard for some teen who's still on't 5'5".
I know, I didn't really answer the question.
Anyway, a squat fish is probably going to be in the shortboard category.
