I have a 6'1 by 20.25 with pointed nose (fake fish). Should I get the Fish/ Retro 6'3 or the Short Board Single 6'3?

The short board single listing says it can accommodate width up to 21" wide. In my communications with the seller, they were very precise about their descriptions and measurements. A 6'3"x21" wide bag is probably actually wider than 21" to be able to fit a 21" wide board and the thickness of the board. 20.25 isn't super wide, so you should be all good unless your board is super thick. If you have time, send a note to the seller with your board dimensions to be sure. They are very responsive. If you need to order immediately the few extra inches of width on the Fish/Retro wouldn't be a problem. The only downsides of a little extra room is it may twist/shift a little inside and any slack may vibrate in the wind when driving with it on your roof. Then again, a little extra room means you can stuff your wetsuit in there?

Lin, I have to make a correction I see this is the small one, I was actually referring to the larger one. As the others have said, However depending on length which shorter is usually younger better it would work. If you have the grill space I would recommend the larger one for other uses as well.

I also had the same back in the days. The feeling is exactly the same, versatile on any conditions, lots of feedback basically you dont think about the board just concentrate on fun. The only difference in my case is that i found it a bit slower than before , but it could just me with more kilos onboard, lol. But overall same fun as back in the days, just make sure you get a good set of flippers.

I purchased a light blue one last year for christmas gift. Great board with 30 year history. Great value. It also comes in red. Note, it is scaled down version. 1" shorter and 1/2" narrower than full size. Good luck.

For me I have found that the best fit, feel, and the best response is using a 7' fast or extra fast rod. That's just me. Brand of rod is a personal preference thing......Daiwa or G-Loomis.

I would go bigger, as a beginner the bigger the board the easier to get started. This board is light enough even at a larger size. I HAVE ridden this one though and I'm 5'8 150. So it will work. Bigger boards are more stable and make catching the waves WAY easier. Having said that for it's size this board has plenty of float and is stiff enough to support your size easily.

Wow , I should have such problems!!! Ha! I am 5'3" so I am probably not the right person to give you advice, however, I believe the board is 6'? So with that in mind it should be okay for you? I love the board because I'm in an apartment that is carpeted, trying to be stable on carpet was a challenge, this board makes working out doable, plus it's easy to store. I hope someone w/more height gives you answers that I can't . Until then I hope this is some help. Namaste

Yea its definitely not a regular size board. Actually its a lot smaller.....quality on it is pretty terrible as well. I definitely should have done more research before I purchased that board.

Hi, the Ozoboard is a great cross over board - you should get a 9'6 if you are going to do SUP and you can still use it as a surfboard as well. Regards Jeanjean

I would get the longer one. I'm 5'6" and need every inch of the long one. You can't go shorter but you can always work with longer.

Hi, I have been surfing over 35 years. You weigh about the same as me. If I were you I would get an 8 foot "funboard" shape, or better yet, around a nine foot longboard. Probably a used board would be your best bet for a first board. If you want something new, INT Softboards is a good brand and it is made in the USA - I'd go for the 9 foot model if you choose this route. - have fun

I got the six footer, and I prefer it. I have not seen the 3 foot size, and don't know the difference. So it actually depends on you, I guess they both work the same way, the difference may just be the length. Good luck!

It's a shorter board, but sturdy. I weigh over 200lbs and rode around on it. But I wasn't doing anything crazy, I'm too old for that. It's made like any Powell board, the length is the only difference I noticed.

I have the stiff stick which is 23" in length. I'm 6 ft in height and have more firm muscles. If your muscles are not as firm you may need the original stick - which is less stiff

its a actually more comparable to a nickel board at 27'', and its great cruz board. Both the penny board, and banana board are quite similar, if you're looking for a smaller board get the 22'' board. these eight-bit boards are a great deal, bassically can buy two of these boards for the price of one penny board.

a 20H (20 HIGH) would fit. A 20L (20 Long) would not. Doctors Foster and Smith have stands that will take 2 tanks of the same size. In many sizes. No board necessary, they are already good to go...

I don't think it would be too short, I'd possibly be a little concerned about the weight but the board has good flex. Consider buying other wheels too as these ride a little hard.Have fun!
