    @bigperm, checkout Firewire's Volume calculator: http://www.firewiresurfboards.com/qu...olume_calc.php it will help you get an idea of which board size to go with.

    Sweet Potato excels in 1-2ft waves. Baked is 1-3ft waves. If you plan to surf all kind of conditions and wave heights, you will probably need 3-4 Firewire boards IMHO. :)
    5'8" - 170lbs / 172cm - 77kg
    503 x 21.25 x 2.4, 32.4L Baked Potato TG (pending), Futures
    504 x 21.50 x 2.5 , 35.7L Sweet Potato FST, Jordy + Q400
    508 x 20 x 2.4, 31L SpitFire FST, FEA Techflex

    Fin Tree: EA Techflex, Jordy Smith L, MulCoy 5-fin, Deviant Fin, QD400 Rears

    There's nothing a good surf session can't cure!

    I reckon Potatonator and Alternator would cover a lot of conditions. Waist to nearly double overhead imo.
