    I'm 180lbs and surf a 5'2". It has the perfect flotation for me. I bit of adjustment due to the shorter rail but it took just a couple of waves... loving it!!!. Tons of speed and fun on small mushy waves.
    It all depends on what would you feel more comfortable with but I reckon the 5'4" will have a bit too much foam

    I'm 6' tall, 182lbs, wear a heavy 6-5mm full suit with boots & gloves and I ride a 5'4 SP which is perfect. If your surfing in boardies at your size like Iggy says, the 5'4 may be a bit big. Really depends how your going to surf it, just cruising then it'd be ok but if you want to do tight turns and throw it about then smaller is better (in ratio to weight and ability).

    yeah good stuff guys.
    In warm water i would also suggest considering a smaller one in the 502 range, but like MAx said, it will still be fun at 504 if ability and/or preference pushes you in that direction!!
