    I am looking to pick up a new fish. I am not sure what size to get. I am currently riding a 6'6 squash tail. I live up in the North East. I was looking at a 5'10 21 2 5/8. I am 5'11 200lbs. I was told that would be a good size but it seems small. Anyone have any insite? Dont want to spend the $$ and regret the size.

    I’m 5’7 164 pounds and I’m riding a 5’6 x 20 x 2 3/16 CI fish….
    Al Merrick says you should get a fish 6 inches shorter than your every day board! It worked for me…

    Got one for sale down here in FL......5'10 Larry Mayo quad fin, fish tail, used twice! New condition, no dents, dings, or scratches. If interested, I'll try to get down to the consignment shop to snap some pics...
