Hey guys.
I am looking forward to buy a new surfboard.
I am living in germany and usually surf in franc, span portugal.
at the moment i am using a 6.2 // 21 3/10 // 2 1/2 surftech retrofish which fits me very well- maybe bit too much volume..
i got 88 kg/ 195 lbs and i am 6.3 high (192cm).
Now i searching for a board that works better in fast and hollower (?) waves up to head high.
I got to say that i am not looking forward to surf a small shortbard some day. i guess i like those hybrids and retroboards...

Now i cannot really decide. Hellfire seems to be a good option. But should i take 6.4 or 6.2?
The el Fuego looks pretty good as well.. same problem: 6.3 or 6.1

Thanks a lot so far!

Tim

Hey Tim, I think you are on the right path with the Hellfire. I would push you after the 604 Hellfire or the 603 el fuego, but it depends a little on your ability and how often you envision yourself surfing.

How frequently do you get out in the water?

Thanks!!

Yeah stick with the 604 Hellfire or the 603 El Fuego.

Both work really!!
