Yeah 510.
Shouldn't be flat, September/October are pretty much the prime months here, and if the waves such I'm buggering off to France for a few weeks with the MD, CBD and SP :D
A bit too much foam on summer... on winter things change though...Quote:

Thanks again guys, I really annoyed the fellas in the shop trying to decide between the two sizes but went with consensus.
After my first surf in small howling offshore slutsborough waves yesterday (on my wedding anniversary too, that was a real pressy from the wife!) I am sooooooooooooo stoked.....board felt amazing, paddled soooooooo easy and was quick a f**k. I made two lush turns (felt like a tail hack probably looked like a waft)....it is obviously a lot looser even in quad set up than my fishes so I need to learn to surf it, which is exactly what I wanted......sooooooooo excited for September swells.
Iggy, I was thinking bigger for the winter swells but even in that thickness suit I reckon for me I wanted to push the fitness to cope....kind of again what I wanted.....
im 83 kg and surfed a 5 10 hellfire at crap waves at croyde ...the board went like shit off a stick!!..im 39 years old with moobs and a beer gut like jimmy five bellies and could not belive how good the 5.10 was...was thinking of a 6.2 but would deffo go 5 10 ....fog on the tyne is alllllllll mine!!
6'0 fat burner 6'1 gulfstream fastback 6'4 simon anderson interceptor 6'6 lsd step up 6'8 gulfstream pintail indo gun!! soon to be the owner of a hellfire!
all this 510 hf love....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew .....back on mine the last few days....i keep saying the same thing over and over....its the closest we will get to barefoot surfing...!!
oh, and after a stint forcing myself to go four fin i'm back on three.....and its back to "melting" away under my feet...totally neutral....the most pure feeling you can get...(IF YOU RIDE IT SMALL WITH LARGE FINS)...
