  1. a 6 0"


  2. If you are an expert the best board for these is called a Thruster, a short board with the nose in the air and three fins on the back botton  This board is only 5-6 feet long. All the tricks can be performed on this board.

  3. depends on the wave and the surfer. i could do a floater with a 5'8 shortboard or a 10' longboard. if its super mush puppies youd want a different board than if its hollow overhead glassy.

  4. Don't go with a fish. a fish is more of a fun board and not manuvered as easily. just go with a regular shortboard. your gonna want one with thin rails and probably a height of 5'4'' to 5'9''. depending on how advanced you are. a couple nice brands are firewire(but firewires are really expensive),Bat, wooster, and js. those are some brands and another tip is try to find an epoxy board those are really durrable and will last you a while. btw do not get a ron jon surfboard its a nice brand for other stuff but not surfboards. trust me you can make a pressure dent in one of those just by pinching it lightly. Well hope you find the right board. peace.

  5. id say a nice 6-0 with some nice wax and a stomp pad could do it

  6. Depends on riders dimensions and fitness.

    They are some pretty sick tricks so as small as you can get away with - in my case a 5"8 fish can be pretty fun once you get it air bourne,
