I need some quick dimension help. I’m wanting to get a new board, similiar to a flyer in shape. I used to ride a Rusty Pirhana, but recently it buckled on me(6’2"). SO now i’m looking to go to a local shaper and get one made, so i’d appreciate some info on what dimensions to request (probably a 6’2"). I am still relatively new to surfing so I really don’t know what to look/ask for. My skills aren’t great, but I can consistantly catch waves and ride them out with a few easy turns. I am 5’9" 155lbs. I surf mostly at Venice, so waves are not too big.
I was thinking maybe around 6’2" x 19 x 2 3/8", but you guys would know much better than me.
I’m defintely open to other ideas as for the shape as well, just as long as it’s still a “shortboard.”
Damn, I would do that but unfortunately I don’t have the board anymore. hmm…any other suggestions? I’m not really sure what I do/don’t like about it to be honest, it was my first board and I got it really cheap so I didn’t care. I did like the volume it had though, but i’m looking to get more of a shortboard.

You pretty much summed up what you want. You should go with your feelings on this one I think. A flyer shape that is also 6’2", the same length as your buckled Rusty. What shapers in your area are you interested in? Going with a local shaper is a good call.
Thanks I guess I’ll just request something similar to a flyer then. My dad found a company called Phase One Surf. I’m thinking of getting a board from them. Anybody know anything about them? Haven’t really had a chance to research much. Thanks again!
