I have the same board but mine is 6'0 and I'm only 13 and weigh 102. What size board should I really have?

Find a quieter place for future reviews.

no we've got a 6'2. We can order one for you though either off the stock lists or custom. Let us know!

You might want to get a bigger Biscuit if you are having trouble on that size fish. We have a 6'0, 6'2 and 6'4 right now (and smaller ones). They are all over 21" wide and 3" thick so you would be getting a lot more float and paddle power and stability. At these sizes they are almost like a fun shape but squashed down. You can ride them smaller but it sounds like you might want to err on the side of too big rather than too small based on your past experiences.

The Surf Station - 12 years ago

They are very different boards...the biscuit is better for smaller waves, it's thick, very little rocker and wide. The Whip is more of a hybrid performance board...it's a better all around / versatile board. But if you are just learning, the biscuit could be more stable and catch more waves. What board are you riding now?

The Surf Station - 12 years ago

@ready2goready1 Depends on the size, but these are usually 689 which includes fins at surfstationstore. com

@SurfStationReports ohhh thats pretty cool.. i get it now thanks

@LongboardBC the deck does have two areas of concave in it. You know how after you surf a while on a board, you get indentions where your feet always land? They went ahead and shaped these into the board so it already had that feel for placement

@SurfStationReports oh i thought you said the top deck was concave, sorry!

The Surf Station - 12 years ago

@LongboardBC I suppose you could say the stringer is convex but we are talking about the two indentions (concave) running parallel to the stringer. Convex usually means like a domed sort of deck.

Torrey B - 12 years ago

Preeettttty sure it's convex on the top but whatever. Sick board. Sick reviews. Nice work!

this board is good for it all!!!!!!!1 small waves big waves....airs.....barrle i have it-it is the best ever!!!!! you will not regret it

Bodhi Dharma - 13 years ago

Is this board good for airs? I'm between something like a dumpster diver/neckbeard and a whip. Also, is it possible to get a 5'6" whip or a 5'2" neckbeard. I'm 5'6" and it seems like people are only selling boards that are slightly too big for me.

what song was that in the back ground??

Cordell Stone - 13 years ago

Cool thanks man, I think I want one! The Black Flag looks like it could handle well overhead surf as well. Seems like it would paddle fast and get you into a wave easier. Can you eloborate a little on that Moon Tail? As in difference between that and a Squash or a rounded pin??? I think I'm going Black Flag for sure but I'm still waiting to check out the Semi-Pro. Have you reviewed that yet?
