    Good one Chris! I've had this board at 6'4" with me at 90kg for a month or two now. I love it. It's definitely my default board choice.

    I like my pads with the rear kick pretty much over the centre of the rear fin. Much further back and for me the board feels too "tippy".

    At your weight and age I'd have thought a 6'4" to 6'6" Spit and 6'6" to 6'8" Hellfire would be appropriate. You clearly like a bit more foam so I...

    I don't think a longer UB would be any good as a step up for 2x overhead plus waves. It just carries too much volume and tail width. Longer lengths...
