Are you a Longboarder thinking about going a bit shorter? I highly recommend it.

The BobSled & CarverFish are great starting points. The 7'4 to 7'10 range is a great starting point too. Adjust width and thickness to suit your weight and preference. Don't be afraid to stay wide and thick for comfortable paddling power, almost as good as your longboard.

If you're already getting to your feet really fast, and making at least 9/10 take-offs on your Malibu (9+ footer), and if you don't have something shorter, you should think about these dimensions... 7'8 x 21 x 3". That would suit someone around 6 foot, and 90 kilos. If you are shorter/lighter, or heavier/taller, think along the lines of either 7'2 x 20"3/4 x 2"7/8 or 7'11 x 21"1/2 x 3"1/8. (or 3" but retain foam volume elsewhere).

They will slide down the line like a log can, in knee high / above knee high point breaks. But when it gets head high and a bit more punch, they will zip off the bottom, pivot hard off the top, and you can also allow them to do beautiful long drawn out bottom turns too. Play around with the fins... Have fun!

Mine is a Golden Dawn from Bells Beach.

how big will it be is Brodie going to be out there??

HI there just wondering how big the surf will be at Bells Beach today???
ive heard up to 4meters!!!

Estimates please... scale rulers and calculators are permitted.
The photographic angle is about 10 degrees looking down. Actually closer to 8... Not that is really matters...

This one at Winki - how big is the face of the wave? Guy taking off is in crouch stance.




Bells is hard to judge in this photo....

This is most probably T-Ray (Tony Ray) coming off the bottom.
