Hi guys. I was after some experienced surfers' opinions. Out of curiosity I recently checked out some board calculators for weights and was surprised by what I saw. To cut a long story short, they are at the very least recommending me to ride a 32 litre board. I am about 82 kg 6 foot. The calculators are suggesting 6'4 x 20 or 21 wide. Would this not be a pig?

A few years ago I had a Steve del Rossi 6'2 18 3/4 and it was magic. Then for a bargain I got a 6'4 x 18 1/2 old school board. At first I thought it was a pig and felt way too floaty but I soon learnt to trust the extra volume on good waves. Recently I've got another 6'2 18 1/2 and paddling into perth waves I feel like the board's too small and I'm a learner again, but then again I took it to the rock and it goes great if the smaller but punchy left.

Are the calculators right? 6'4 x 21 sounds to be a pig, or am I wrong?
