he's 6'2" and rides a 5'3" x 20 1/4" x 2 1/4" fish.

That's crazy.
169 lbs according to the website. Not so much the volume, but the height is what gets me. I can't imagine riding something that short, and I'm a couple of inches shorter.

Love watching Burch surf his shapes (well, anyone's actually).
So stylish...straight steez! Would live to try one if I found one secondhand.

"Just curious....where does he fit on the shaping tree?
Who's his mentor"

Seems to me I recall Jim Philips (Jim the Genius) saying he had worked with Ryan?? Also mentioned Zack Flores in the same breath, IIRC, as an up and coming protégé.

try it. riding such a small board is a unique feel, especially the responsiveness.

I've ridden as short at 5'5". Didn't care for it. My shortest stub is a 5'7". Keel is a 5'10". Perfect for me.

His twin fish boards with the side cuts that he's putting in look great.

Are Burch's stringerless boards PU?
