    Yet another sizing advice on the sweet potato

    21 years old, 88kg and 187 cm... What size sweet potato do you recommend for an intermediate? I was thinking 5'6?

    thank you for your advice :)

    5'6" looks about right, you could push it to the 5'4" but it might be a bit short given your height
    165cms 89Kgs dry...working on that at the moment...but not working!!! :)

    yeah go 506. i think you'll be happier with the extra volume over the 504.
