I'm 6'2" around 175lbs. Seems like I am always in between sizes on things. Based on that and the fact that I want to be doing more tricks and less cruising is it a better idea to go lower than a 53?
Thanks!

Check out the Exile carbon skims as well. They have a few different sizes and 2 thickness's for each board to really dial it in for the user. The owner normally answers the phone, cool guy to talk boards with.Quote:

good stuff tho. when in the hunt for another skim will keep this website. I've ridden victoria skims and like them but exile looks like a better value.
Right on. The only Victoria that I have liked is the Captain. The others never felt right to me. The Exile rides much more neutral with less work. Maybe you can demo sometime. The Carbon Hybrid and Deese pro are really nice.Quote:

As far as Size 50 would be on the wee side. Matrix and MVP are both great boards. You can get the key which comes in a 52. That would be the sweet spot. Any of these 3 would be better for progression over the hammerhead. Generally the smaller the board the quicker it is.Quote:

Kanuck boards has the blunt which you can custom order in sizes and designs. These boards are like the soul craft line and are a little more but kick butt.
As you add tricks you can also go to a much smaller fin which will help with your 180’s and spins.
