Says 4'4" on the deck but LF classifies a 4'2" or 4'6". <BR> <BR>Is this deck going to be a little small for me? 6ft 180lbs. <BR> <BR> I got it from a friend who doesn't need it and told me to check it out which I will, just looking for some input as well. I have been surfing for some time, but am not that good. Ride w/o rope and learning 360, but the board will also be a "boat" board for everyone mostly beginners. WE are debating, but pretty much everyone I have talked to recommends a Broadcast or a Phase 5 the bigger one can't recall if it was Icon or the Prop off hand. I ride the Broadcast all thi time, but its a buddies and I now need one of my own. <BR> <BR>Our boat is a 2000 X-Star

It probably is a 4'4" -- and I think it's going to be on the small side for you and on the REALLY TOO small side for any beginner.

I have that board. It really isn't bad. I'm 5'9" and 180. You will probably like it better than the broadcast, but keep in mind it is more of a skim style board. <BR> <BR>The 4'4" were made before the 'production' models went into production.

Just wanted to give an update. <BR> <BR> <BR>The board has been great for me. Almost getting the 360 dialed. I like the fact the board weighs next to nothing. It has been great for me and I actually do like it better than the broadcast.
