    Need board for knee to head waves. Something floaty but not to huge. Something I can still turn easy with, from 5'2 to 5'6. I've been thinking about the Al Merrick Pod, anyone know anything about this board?

    Well the fish shape seems like what you would want. I am a big fan of the fishcuit. I think it has a flat rocker as well as the quad fin setup. I would go with that. they are fast too

    ive been thinking the same thing.. ive been debating between the pod and dumpster diver.. the only real difference is the the pods nose is rounder.. what exactly does that do for the ride?

    not true to my knowledge (im no ci expert) but the pod has alot of V between the fins where the DD has a single concave all the way through.

    I saw the Fishcuit but it looked as if it would be more stiff than the Pod?
