Yeah Chris makes Perfect sense! Thanks. I will be more in touch with them and they do offer FW boards there.

I still can't wrap my head around how short I can go! Makes total sense. Thanks Chris.

Here's some pics of a go to spot that is pretty good for a lake:

Jumping in here guys as I didn't want to start a new thread for size advice.

First off, I am only in the early stages of looking. I moved form San Francisco to Toronto and recently have found that there is surf in the lake with the help of the guys over at surf ontario. Mike S tweeted about the sweet potato and now here I am. I have been surfing for about 15 years and would consider my self to be intermediate to lower advanced as I have taken a few years off in there.

I am just under 5'8 and 205 pounds. Kind of a stalky occy build if you will. The waves we get here are stronger then I thought they would be but being fresh water doesn't have the float I am used to. I am currently on a 6'4 Merrick Flyer 2 tufflite and am looking for a fun wave magnet to glide on.

I was thinking 510 but after reading comments here and in the old forum that sounds like 6 inches too long! What do you think?

Thanks!
