Hi guys,

Looking to complete my quiver of Firewire boards.

Currently have:

500 Sweet Potato
502 Sweet Potato (still trying to decide which of the two sweet potato's to keep)
505 El Fuego
508 Hellfire

As you can see, I don't have a standard short board.

I'm heading over to the Maldives in August & feel that I should have a board for waves in case they get over head high.

Which model is better for paddling, MB or Taj?

I consider my surfing abilities to be in the intermediate range (I can pretty much do everything except airs for the moment).

I'm 5'9" 175cm & weigh 70 kgs 153 lbs

Size suggestions for either models as my regular short board?

Cheers

Megsy
