6.6 you will need it

6`6 pintail should do the trick

thanks guys, looks like i might rethink the quiver. i did surf the telos bout 15 years ago(feral style) and spent most of my time on a 6,1 and only rode the bigger board, the 6,5 on the one hollow wave we found. All my boards are rounded pins, from 6.0 and up, they just go better down here on the steeper reefs. Having never been to the ments it does look like a lot of the waves are pretty hollow so based on your guys advice i might can the idea of taking a quad 5'10 and throw in a 6'6. I gotta take 3, I've broken too many boards in the last 2 years, though none since i started with the carbon rails. The 6'1 will still have to come, if we get small surf and i don't have it i would spew. cheers boys

Where are you from barndog? Not from around Dunsbrough way?

How big are you and what is your level of ability?

i'm only a little fella, bout 172cm, bout 73kgs, depending on how much beer i've been drinking, from Dunsborough and surf at a reasonable level

Definately take a smaller board then! Around the 6'1" mark or even shorter if you take a fish. There is nothing worse then being stuck with a log on a small day. Heck, I'm 88kg and 6'1" and still have a heap of fun on my 5'8" fish even when its 5-6ft and hollow. Get amongst it! Definately take something around 6'5-6'6 when it gets a bit bigger!

Been riding Dave Mannion's boards DMD for about 16 years now, one of those things i reckon, if your getting what you want, why change it, even when i see a nice board, like that Bourton quad of yours (that looks fun), I just go to Dave and get him to make one up. I'm still thinking a nice, modern tail/usual railed but slightly wider up forward, in a tri/quad might be fun to take

You see the concaves in that sucker and it has a lot of tail flip/rocker in it, all it wants to do is fast, its one of the best boards Ive had I think!!
