So ive been in the business of used boards and this is a 6'0 Retro fish and the only pic the dude had of this board was wondering if you could identify it.

6'3" Sitka shortboard. Al Merrick flyer replica. 19.5" wide and 2.5" thick. brand new condition. ridden twice. FCS G5 fins. board is a medium grey in color and polished fiberglass. $500 with FCS bag and leash or $450 without bag.
How does this look for a guy switching from a 7'6 longboard. It is fairly thick?

Nice board.. you may have some difficulty switching down to a twinny fish from a 7'6". They're much much looser.
You might want to look at a hybrid 3-fin thruster in the 6'6"-6'8" range, or an egg.
but if you're committed to working at it, I'd say go for it.
On re-read; is the fish 6'3"? Or are you looking at two different boards (6' fish and a 6'3" standard thruster)?
Thinking about it.. either would probably be ok for you, though they'll take some getting used to and you'll feel like a grom again for a bit.
