Not to belittle you, but,if u r an experienced surfer, u should know what type board suits ur size & style. at 6'2 u want aboard about the same, maybe a bit shorter, if you're fast. Curren & Slater both ride thrusters, & l believe Curren rides a swallow-tail. It gives a little tighter turning, but frees the board up a lot. Talk to whoever is going to shape it for you, a good shaper will work with u all the way. Where u do most of you're surfing, the type of break it is, determines what kind of rocker u want built in to ur board.

Gotta agree with Larry up there, if you are experienced you should already know this. l do.
l have a Surftech version of one of Kelly is short boards from Al Merrick, a 6'2'' diamond tail. That is what Kelly likes for transitioning off the lip and getting sharper turns.

ok. You want a 6'2-6'7 legnth, hmm..width around 20-22inches and thickness 2 inches maaaayyyybbbeee 2 and a half at most. Too thick and no more style. Hope this helps.
And Slater and Curren would know their board dimensions.

l agree with larry too. wow u must not know ur boards l would say u need a 6'5''-6'8'' and have it around 18in wide and 3in thick
or u can try for a longer one 7'ish but keep other dimensions the same
i have a 6'0'' $3000 custom and its amazing
