I am 5ft10 is a 6ft6 fish board ok?

What you need a surfboard that floats you well enough to paddle and catch a wave at your PRESENT SKILL LEVEL at YOUR PRESENT SIZE. We don’t know anywhere near enough about you, or where you surf. And, we don’t have any opportunity for dialogue.

Don’t waste your time on line, we don’t know anywhere nearly enough about you, or where you surf, how well you surf, your size (weight is import, height isn’t), skill level and local wave conditions, and we don’t have an opportunity to discuss these things with you. We aren’t your surfing buddies, we don’t necessarily surf where you or know anybody who does. Go to a good local surf shop (or a shop where ever you usually surf) and discuss your options with the folks in the shop. They can give you far better advice than anybody out here in ‘cyberspace’.

Anybody who would give you SPECIFIC advice as to what size or type board to buy on-line is foolish. Anybody who would take that advice is more foolish

And, I know there are lots of nice kids who want to share information with you on line. But don’t take the advice from youngsters, who may know even less than you do about surfing, a surfboard is a big investment. I hope you are mature enough to read through the BS that lots of people throw at you on line. Go spend some time with the folks in the shop. They will help you find a board that is “just right” for you and your budget.

After 46 years of surfing, I still get my surfboard buying advice from good local shops in the different places where I surf. If possible avoid popouts. Here is why:http://www.mckevlins.com/no%20pops.html

I am partial to nice fat retro fishes. I own a couple (both twin and quad fin models), . They adapt from thigh high mush to overhead waves. But, a fish is much looser and tougher for a novice to ride. Again, talk to the guys in the shop, they surf where you do.

Good luck, and work on your skill, and talk to the local guys
