5'3 if you are really intermediate...if you are a bit better than good you can go one size down. If you want to surf really small surf and are somewhere between a beginner and intermediate and want to surf really small surf go up to 5'5. I am 85kgs and use a 5'5 for really small surf..intermediate to good on my best days.

It planes and paddles unreal so dont be afraid to go a bit shorter...you need a lot of fin too...small fins in this one will make it feel like it doesn't want to drive..good luck

I am using the Futures Elevons and love them in that board and my Potatonator but if the look (and price) of them scares you then use the Simon Anderson quads...they are a great fin and work well because of the big rear fin they have...good luck.
