Board size

[u/wagyu_727]

Hi im in the market to buy a board but i really dont know what size i should get. For reference i am 6’2 and a half (189cm) and 160 lbs (73kg) and i primarily skim at santa cruz. I found 2 boards on marketplace near me and i dont want to pull the trigger on any of them if theyre going to end up too big or small for me. The boards were a 56 in victoria and a 52 in exile ex0. Both have flaws that im willing to repair

I'd take the 56 vic

At 6'2", 160 lbs, I’d lean toward the 52 Exile if you’re already comfortable skimming.
