    Which board fits my description?

    Height: 5' 10"
    Weight: 145 lbs
    Skill: I'm a pretty good surfer, into cutbacks, sprays, and airs.
    Location: East Coast of Florida (Cocoa Beach area)
    Wave size: 3-6 ft

    I'm really interested and ready to buy a firewire board but I have no clue which to buy and what size board.

    I'm currently looking at the Hellrazor and Flexfire? Not sure if either of those would work? Or which length board I should be looking at.

    Please help me out.
    Thanks

    I'd look at the 509 Hellrazor. Not sure if the 507 would be enough volume ...

    prj- Is it because of kyle's height that you don't think it would be enough volume or his weight?
    I ask because I am 5'3, 140lbs and am contemplating the 5'7 Hellrazor as well. I tried the 5'9 last weekend and it floated me as good as my 5'6 Hellfire (same volume basically) but the 5'9 felt too long for me.

    Yeah height was a factor. And it depends on how much volume you're used to.
    I tend to go around the weight in kg x 0.36l - 0.37l and that works for me.

    Wow PRJ, cool formula.
    5.10 Futura - What else do I need?
    5.5 Baked Potato - Well ok, I need this.
    5.11 El Fuego - Oh ok, just one more.
