Zamora HP Fish with Jet Tail

I just realized that I never posted this up here. When I was in San Diego in December I drove up to Malibu to meet with Ian Zamora and pick up this beauty. I was unhappy with the board I kept at my cousin's house to use when I visited and I had been wanting one a Zamora Surfboards HP Fish with Jet Tail ever since I demo'ed it at the AB3 East. Ian offered a killer deal for the holidays, so I took full advantage and decided to replace my San Diego board with this beauty. At 5'11" x 19 1/4" x 2 1/2" this board is pure magic. Ordered a little thick to be my all-around waist to head high California killer this board should suit me in just about any swell I'll be lucky enough to surf out there. Honestly this board is so good that I could probably own an HP Fish and a Step-up bonzer and be perfectly happy for life. Of course variety IS the spice of life so that will never happen. But, this board has such incredible drive and hold, while still being completely loose and snappy. It is by far my favorite board for all-around surf that I have ever ridden. Ian really hit it outta the park with this design. Not only is he a great shaper/designer, but really cool cat and nice guy too. I'm planning to get another one of these at 2 3/8" in EPS/Resin-X for Jersey in the spring. For now I'm left counting the months, weeks, and days until we will be re-united in the golden state. See you again in March my dearest...

If you don't mind me asking, what size are you? I'm looking at the same board and am trying to figure out how big to go. I'm 6'1", 175 lbs. Do you still like the board?

Cheers, Eric
