That would depend on your skill level, where you surf, what size waves you'll be riding, and what you're riding now.
Dude if your new get an 8 foot at least Go for used and look for dings on the rails, nose, tail, and check the fins
http://images.google.com/imgres?img...ages?q=7s+superfish+xl+8+foot&um=1&hl=en&sa=N i have a 7'3 and it works great in everything, plus most waves on the east coast are sloppy and mushy and there are really only a few days out of the year when its head high and perfect where you need a shortie. even so, this board is completely rideable in those orgasmic conditions...here are some pics of me in TS Hanna. http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/viewPhoto.php?photoId=71499 http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/viewPhoto.php?photoId=71498 http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/viewPhoto.php?photoId=71497 good luck
right on bro. You're a pioneer. Haven't seen someone make a "she said" joke on a message board before.
if you want to get urself a shortboard for when the waves are good and ur fish just isnt cutting it, LOST has a series called BGT(big guy tri) that would suit you the prices are very reasonable too
