    Great board! I own 2 of them a 6'0" and a 5'6" . I prefer the 5'6" in anything under chest high and might give up my 6'0" to ride my new 5'10" Bing Swee Pea. I'm sure your gonna love it, I rode my 6'0" in some big surf in El Salvador and it did well.

    I have a stringer-less Christensen Ocean Racer that looks a lot like this one. Has the Volan deck patch too. At 5'9" and I weigh 190 I wasn't sure how well it would do for me, but was unreal in chest high waves. It was very loose and very fast... Once you ride a shape like this you may end up with two like Zippy

    Thanks guys.
    Well my son and I both gave it a whirl in less then knee high waves today and it was a blast. I had a Rainbow "the Quan" that was my favorite but I can tell t his will be high on the quiver list. My son wants one too. A

    I love that shape. I ride my 5'6" in waves as small as knee high and I can get moving pretty darn fast with some pumping. Keep in mind I am 6'1" and 195 lbs.
