Surfboard ques.?

Question

I looked into the rusty redline, but idk what size for me?

im 5'3 1/2"

i weight 120 pounds

im pretty good at surfing

so wthat size board>

Answer 1

if the waves are smaller, use a bigger board but i think you should use about a 6 or 7 foot board

Answer 2

Well if your short light and experienced i would recommend a surfboard around 6'. If you want more balance go for a board a few inches bigger...and if you want a board for quick cutbacks go for one a little shorter. It all depends on personal preference but i would recommend around 6'.

Peace

Answer 3

If you are a beginner you want a 7-8 foot longboard. If you already know the basics you could get like a 6'4 shortboard. If you are really good at surfing get a 5'10 board.

Answer 6

What happened to Perfection Surfboards? I have a few big name boards, but my favorites were made by a local shaper. I rarely ride my Merricks, or Stewart. You worked hard earning the money, so talk to the guys at the local shop before looking at a Rusty. They know more than strangers online. And these answers are mostly personal opinions.

Answer 7

I have to agree completely with Sufammo. Why not check with the folks at your local shop. They might be able to recommend a really great stick made by a local shaper, that is just perfect for your local breaks.

If you are dead set on the Rusty Redline, the 5'8" is right for you now, but I don't know anything about you. Are you going to be 5'10" 180 in two years? If that is the case, they go up in size incrementally, so you make the call.

Rusty are nice, I bought a nice Lost SDII in March, but I really like my Allisons better (local North Carolina boards), so check out the shops around your way before you commit to anything. I've owned dozens of boards since '66, and the best have been shaped by small business men rather than big corporate shapers. Good luck!
