I know this dude, he's a giant, not kidding. Screw the 5'10 get the soft top and shred. Those things are fun, iv gotten some good barrels while in Hawaii while i had to rent a soft top 9"5 it was really fun. Terrible for turns clearly
QUICK! Before you rent a foamie, READ!! I just remembered, K-Coast surf shop rents bic boards. Not that great, but still better than foamies.
Wait! They actually rent out other boards too... So you're set... http://www.kcoast.com/rental-fleet.html
Yeah kcoast has a few bigger firewires for rent. Go up to the board room and ask for Hairball or Mike.
Tuono, I should show up with Big Blue and rent it out. Pay for my day!!! Loved that board and had it out on big days too. If it worked for my frame, it'll work for this guy's! Made a lot of lemonade out of lemons on that board!
And remember, Kelly Slater surfed on an upside down table (seriously) so I agree: whatever you're having fun on is the right board at the right moment for the right surfer.
