6'9-7'0 I saw a guy riding one on sat in 1-3' crappy beachbreak. Its a freaking pintail made for good point surf. Just b/c Curren rode one (back in the 80's) doesn't make it a great board.

I hope your planning on riding it in good waves at least.

You'd definately be using it in the right waves. The black beauty has thicker rails and should float/paddle you well. You don't have to get a Merrick to get a good board, though. Check out craigslist.com in your area or even ebay and see if you can find something similar for a good price. I've seen pin tails in that size range for pretty cheap in good shape, too.
