Is this going to be my only boat or am looking for a surf spec. or WW rodeo, creeking, etc.. then look at what will best suit your needs then demo as many as possiable.

This message board is great because everyone on here has thier own personal perf. and likes dislikes etc...

I guess the bigest thing is to demo as much as you can.

For your size almost any boat will work, I have a size 9 shoe and I have found only 1 boat I could not get into comfortably and that was chris kohuts cyclone because of his foot blocks (very short inseam).
