Like slater says the board size only matters for getting into the wave anyway.

Caroline why don't you respond to my posts?

Do you value my input?

 

if you're a beginner or don't get out much, that board is actually about the perfect size and volume for you...score!

btw, FCS G5 are an excellent all around performance fin. I used them, and the later/equivalent M5, for decades on all my boards (I currently use futures). Try the G5s...and you may not need anything else.

Haven't received my mutant yet...should be in a couple weeks. I'll try to post a review.

 

My brother in law is in a video with Jenna marbles. He like hired her to do it and it has millions of views.

 

Never rode that board. I don't really look at volume, just overall dims and know what works for me. As much as I hate to say it, me and you are pretty close in size. I'm 5'8 and hover around the 138-142 range. With that being said, when it comes to small wave grovler type boards 5'8s seem to work well. And I like my boards with some extra foam. Basically what I'm saying is I think that board should be a nice match for you, without knowing exact dims that is, based off my experience with similar shapes. Ofcourse skill, preference, and wave will play a factor. Preference being the most important factor.

As far as fins, ride the board with whatever fins you got for awhile. Ride it in diffrent waves, get a feel for how it performs in diffrent waves. Figure the thing out a bit. When you feel like you have figured it out decide what you like/dislike about the board. Than go for fins that you feel will help make the board better. There's so many fin options, to me that's the best way to choose a fin set up on a new board.

I'm actually looking into getting a small wave shortboard, in the same ballpark as this board. I'm thinking bonzer though. Let's is know how it works out. Ride report threads are always a good read
