sizing the sweet

I recokon your on too big a spud, im way heavier than you (94kg) and am riding a 5-8, i could easily get away with a 5-6, at 81kg you could surf a 5-4 or less - perhaps the lighter guys can advise...

im using mrtfx in front and r2 rusty (QRs?) rears...it runs quite loose and fast but super drivey

Hi guys as the name suggests from the sunshine coast, so need a board that will tame our near year round slop from moffat's to noosa and the beachie's in between, im am intermediate surfer 6'2 92kg, looking at sweet potato inbetween 5"6 and 5"10, just looking for some advice on size, and quad fin suggestions, prefer to go as small as possible, but still want to float my generous frame. I want a board that paddles in early, but can still throw around and still use if it gets 3-4ft and sucky, should i be looking at the potatonator/ baked instead, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Had to laugh reading this, having lived on the sunny coast for a few years for work south end, i think the SP would be the perfect board for the sunny coast, you could use one 9 surfs out of 10 :P

I was out there...first on the pnator and then switched to my orange mc 7t old school 7'er for some retro groove.
Alex surf have the 5'8" fst demo in there if you want to give it a run.

cuttle, from where i was at the club having a coffee it looked like fun big walls, as for the demo i think im going to go rapid fire

[cuttlefish]

Should be even more fun tomorrow even if it drops a bit...Monday.
I need some voltaren.
Re the demo no worries, just letting you know it's there to be ridden if you want to try it.
Prj,
sometimes I just can't help myself.

Volataren is good but if you have there ROBAX that is the thing for muscle pain
