    6'4 Sweet Potato

    Now the sp has been out for a while, anyone got size advice for 6'4 115kg in beach break, 31, surfing 15 yrs most days, but been on longboards for 5 yrs? Don't want too long as feet won't be over the fins
    But need the paddle float!!

    What size SP would be in the 55l range? That should be alright I'd say.

    Yeah focus in the 600 or 602....

    That would be my suggestion.

    Cheers!
