I'm 170lbs, standard shortboard volume 27-28l. I'm riding the 5'2 Potato. You could drop to the 5'0 pretty easy but the extra volume is nice for the smaller, weaker waves you'd predominantly surf the board in.
If you're in warm water the 5'0 could be a good pick.
Yup! Just came back from the FW retailer and ordered the 5'0 witch ill be surfing mostly in warm water (Israel), and can't wait to get it yeeewwwww!!! thanks alot prjwebb

Not yet, waiting for it to arrive hopefully in a couple weeks. Though i'm pretty sure the 5'0 will be perfect after more than a few people warned me not to oversize it and to get it as small as possible! Had a lil' chat with Nev Hyman and he also told me to get it even as short as u possibly think u can ride it, as long as it has more than a couple liters of volume over your other shorties you would be just fine! Ill let you know how it went after i get it and ride it nsjoel808!
yup im waiting for my boards too. Its a pain full wait, Iv never been frothing over getting boards so hard! lol
Thanks for reply & the info. The 5'1 felt like the one the first time i felt her up.
