I have a 5'4" and 5'6" Dumpster Diver. My good friend is around 6' 180 and rides a 5'6" 2 3/4 and loves it.
Agreed, I'd go with a big fat shorty like Rob G and some of the others were mentioning or a longboard. Depends on your style and preferences I guess. You can probably surf a wider variety of waves on the log. I use the longboard on tiny mushy days when the waves don't really wanna push the fish, and on the really big days (rare) so I can get in to the waves way outside and enjoy some stability.
go back & re-read my first post in this thread. you completely missed my sarcasm.Quote:

I have a 9'3 In The Pink by Takayama and its sick for every size wave. With overhead steeper waves you can get an early takeoff so you don't have to worry about a steep drop in and walking it is a piece of cake in bigger steeper surf. But I have been looking to get a shorter board and recently I came across an intriguing shape by Takayama. It's called Scorpion by Takayama and I just ordered it at 5'10 check it out looks like it could be a lot of fun ESPECIALLY for East Coast Surf. But favorite shortboard I've owned so far has been Lost RNF.
