Im 5'11 and 150 pounds and want a surf board again. Sold my 8 foot board after about 6 months of use. Im not that good and the waves in Santa Barbara are small in the summer. If l get a fish l want it at least 6'3 or bigger because l dont like really tiny boards. Thanks for the help

Fish boards are a good transition from long board to short. It depends on if you think your ready or not.
l personally try to push myself as much as l can.. Thats how you get better.

Fish boards are the way to go. l only surf fishes (all from 9 Fish Surfboards). l use them in all conditions from knee high slop to double overhead. If you're looking for a bigger fish, take a look at the Fugu (6'4'' x 22'' x 3'') http://9fishsurf.com/fugu.html or the Yellowtail (6'10'' x 22 1/2'' x 3 1/8'') http://9fishsurf.com/yellowtail.html. They're super easy to paddle and catch waves with. They even have a video on YouTube of a pretty big guy ripping on the Fugu.
