I’m only 5’9, but I have the board that Dave Parmenter shaped for the Board Room tribute to Rusty, when they were shaping 84s. That board is 6’2, 19 1/4. It goes great. The stock 84s look wider and shorter.

Ymmv. I have thrusters at all length. I was just thinking that copying my Parmenter (which is really based off the 84) in Torsion Spring with a flat deck would be rad
Thanks for the spot, Gooch's is not too far away and where I tend to go in Vacationland...I'll check it out and take JDJ's 2.25" under advisement. Twin Fin and Rooster are 2.45" and 2.47" respectively.
And do we know when the Black Friday sale officially ends. One more beer and I am clicking order!
I've never ridden it but the description and reviews make it sound like a great daily driver that would work in softer surf, but if that is the surf you are predominantly riding I would think there are better options. I believe the Dwart would be worth a look, just to name one.
Got my email last night with some screenshots of my blackbird in their software. Rusty or whoever plugged in my numbers told me to keep the volume up based on my order. Knowing how the rails are and overall foil I am not going to argue.
Not sure about the Quiver Killer, but I recently acquired the Rusty Rooster and probably not going to grovel in the lower end of a 1'-3' day, but once it gets to a real 4'+ day it will work. I have been loving it! Paddles really nice. Just had a great session on it a few days ago, handling the steepest drops at my local beach break biggest sets were solid 5'-6'. On one wave after the drop, down in the bottom, right in the pocket, I was looking up at the lip, could've been a 7' face, a great memory, and the speed out of there was the drug we are looking for...
-have only ridden it as a tri-fin: Futures Stamps for now seem to work well.
As an alternative and I am a broken record on this board about the Rusty Zeppelin. It is a solid platform up to say 6' then you can start to feel the bulk on bigger drops, but I love the board it probably is the 'right' board for most days: stock 6'4" ~45L, quad set up loosens it up makes it run really fast down the line.
-I initially got interested in it as my winter shortboard (6/5, lobster claws and 7mil or 8 mil booties) but even during 'warmer' sessions you are close to catching waves near the longboarders and then blowing the doors off of them down the line.
Got the call from Rusty today, Hatchet build should be starting up soon!
Also, rode my Rusty Twin fin today, WOW! First wave of the day had me smiling and for an hour: a long ride that was fast, loose, just a really nice different feel vs. the tri/quad stuff. My 4th or 5th session on it and really, really liking it! If you can get your hands on it for a demo do it!!!

In my case the order was showing as the "Enough Said" vs. the Hatchet, so I noted that in my comments, but dims and order sheet showed Hatchet.
They emailed and called to clarify, said I should be receiving the final dims from Rusty at some point soon, maybe end of day.

I dunno about the blade but shiv def has some rocker. I was loving mine at home in the PNW but it didn't feel quite as good in baja mushy points. It did go good on the better days but I only rode it once it was over head high and mostly preferred the Rusty Twin and other boards for the every day stuff.
