Sweet or Baked Potato???

[Surf fiend]

Im considering a 5'5 BP or a 5'4 SP. Which do you guys recommend for small socal summer junk? I know they are both about the same volume. Ive ridden a 5'6 SP, but it felt slightly overvolumed.

6' 190 lbs. 40 yrs. intermediate-adv.
6' fst spit. 5'8 fst pnator

Hello all.

I am looking at buying a fun board for the smaller days. I have only ridden a thruster around 6'4" to 6'6". I consider myself intermediate/advanced and I am 6'6" tall and 220lbs (230lbs with a 5mm wetsuit gloves and boots) pretty good shape at 40years old.

I am considering the Sweet Potato or Baked Potato but leaning towards the Baked Potato as it seems a little more refined.

Using the volume calculator I should be around 44L ( I am riding a 36L short board)

Sizes I am looking at are:

Baked Potato:

5'9" x 22-3/8" x 2-3/4" (43.6L)
5'11" x 22-5/8" x 2-7/8" (47.3L)

Sweet Potato:

5'8" x 22-1/4" x 2-3/4" (43L)
5'10" x 22-1/2" x 2-7/8" (46.8L)

Currently my local shop can get me a 5'10" SP at 46.8L but I am wondering if it is going to be too big. Almost every review I read they say they could likely have gone smaller.

I am wondering if the 5'9" Baked Potato will be ideal for me.
