Fish size

Hey Guys,

I’ve been lurking in these forums for a couple months now and I finally have a question to ask. I’m looking into shaping & glassing my 3rd board and I want to make it a fish. I’m a small guy at 5’4" 120lbs wanting to surf this board in small California beach breaks. So with these parameters, what dimensions should I go with?

I’m guessing:

5’2"

20.5" wide

2.5" thick

I just want to thank you guys for all the information supplied here to actually allow me to make it to my 3rd board. I’m too addicted to shaping/glassing, I’m trying to convince my friends to let me make them boards at cost of materials, so I can practice more =).

Again thanks,
