Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting myself a sweet potato. I am 33, 80kg and 187cm and my fitness levels are good. I currently have a 6'0" Hellfire which goes real nice on grunty 4 foot + waves. But i find that it a feels a little too big on smaller waves.
I've tried a 5'8" dom which was too small and a 5'10 dom which felt too big. I'm leaning towards a 5'4" potato. Does this sound about right?

Yeah Jimmy based on what you have ridden in the past and your response to some other volumes, the 504 sounds perfect. I am a touch lighter than you and I ride the 508 dom and the 502 sweet potato. So the 504 seems right up your alley.

84Kgs and 165cms here. I do have a 5'8" spit and a 5'2"sweet potato. It's a matter ro preferences but the little extra volume of the 5'4" will come handy on the smaller conditions
