    Size

    Wondering what would a good size for an alternator based on my current boards? I have a 6'6" on the radar for pretty cheap.
    The volume is pretty good and it might fit into my quiver pretty darn nicely.

    I'd go 2" longer than a HF and 4" longer than Dom so you'd be in the 6'6" or 6'4" range.

    That is what I was thinking. Is it an all arounder or move of a big wave board.

    Depends really. For me the 600B would be an all rounder but the 602R would be a bigger wave board. I reckon you'd be looking at a 604B for an all rounder and maybe a 606R for a dedicated bigger wave board.

    If the 6'0" Dom feels right I reckon a 6'4" Alt is the right size.

    What is the difference between the B and the R?

    Bump versus Rounded tail. Got it.
