why so much prejudice for people who only ride 6'3"'s?
So people are saying these things surf and paddle “bigger” than their dims/volume would indicate.
I’m torn between a stock 6’2 and 6’3.
I’m 6’2 - 210 - 52 year old fullsuit wearing hunk of man meat.
What say you?

I agree w/ this. Maybe this outline better suited for west coast?
G-Money II
The G-money is like gold when hunting the barrel of your dreams! Doc likes to describe the G-Money as, “A reverse mullet: party in the front, and all business in the back!” With a bit less entry rocker and a little more width and volume foiled perfectly under your chest, this board will get you...

I'd say it paddles "bigger" but surfs "longer" rather than "bigger" (widepoint forward).
Mine is of similar volume as my regular shorboards and feels perfect. 6'2 at 195 on a stock 6'1.
Stock 6'2 sounds a bit small for you unless you typically ride pretty low volume boards so I'd say 6'3.

Seems like the next board I'll see under every arm at OB when it's 4-8 ft.
The dims on the 6'10" aren't far off my Slayer. A touch thicker, definitely more pulled in in the back half. Narrower in the nose too.
I have a feeling there might be a bit more curve in the rocker too.

Check out the clip of the 9.83 (on the second slide). JJF’s technique on the first turn is so unusual to me. Would never think to also throw the trailing arm down behind me like that.
He's such a freak. Makes those turns look easy, until you try one. In the video that was posted the other day where the paddle out at "25 foot sand bar" he makes it look fun. Gets right out, gets a bunch of waves, duck dives a bomb without problem, does some insane turns and gets barreled. Only Koa Rothman makes it out with him and he doesnt do anything special. He makes it look so easy too. In my opinion the best overall surfer ever.
JJF Fanboy out
I went charging out of the house this a.m. with my 5'8 Flare under my arm. Groms I know can surf were just pindropping all over the place on their tiny borts, so I quickly ran back to the house to grab my 6' Ghost. The waves were only a couple feet overhead, but you needed to put your head down and give some decent paddles/kicks to not airdrop too much.
I haven't ridden the bort since the winter of 20/21 and forgot what a confidence inspiring bort it is. It's been a while since I've been spit out of several barrels in a session locally and probably the first time all of them being backside. I'm giving a lot of credit to the Ghost for my perma-smile this morning.
It's supposed to be offshore all day, so knocking out some work so I can go for a second sesh around 3:00.
