Is this surfboard too small for me?
I'm 5'10" and weigh 180 and i'm looking at this 5'8" Kane Garden quad fish
It's a pretty thick board, but im just wondering if its too small...
First of all, there is no such thing as a rule of thumb. "your board should be two inches, or ten inches or XX inches longer or shorter than your height". It is all crap. You need a board that floats you well enough for you to paddle and take off on a wave, at your given skill level.
If you are a skilled enough surfer, and that board meets that criteria, then it is fine for you. I have been surfing for 43 years, and seen lots of surfers ride boards that they literally sank when sitting still, but they were powerful enough paddlers and had enough skill to be able to take off on those boards.
Additionally, everyone knows that those Kane Garden quads are nice fat "retro" fish, and have lots of foam volume, and can easily be ridden much shorter than your usual short board. Again, it is volume of foam that makes a big difference, and all of these loons with "rules of thumb" don't seem to realize that. What matters is how much you weigh, not how tall you are. It is the weight/buoyancy ration that counts.
Now, after blowing all that smoke at you, like I said above, the board is fine, if it floats you well enough for you to paddle and catch a wave at your skill level. Since we don't have a clue what your true skill level, is we can't answer that question honestly.

Quad fish surfboards?
What's your opinion on a quad fish surfboard?
Advantages and disadvantages?
There are a couple of advantages but a "quad fin" depends on what overall type of board you got....thus, let me try to answer....
Keeping things simple, if you took a normal shortboard and converted it to a "quad", the main thing you would likely experience are more drive, more straightline speed and more release out of turns. You would likely lose some of the quick directionality that the 3-fin thruster would provide as you are simply losing the fin on your pivot point under your backfoot.
Now, drop four fins on a traditional fish and you can get some magic. These boards with flatter rocker start to act like skateboards. A old skool fish would typically have two big "keel" fins in the setup. A "quad" version of this widens out the total fin area and creates a tremendous amount of drive and release. For reference, check out Rich Pavel's Speed Dialer design...its pretty sick.
Lastly, many guys (including Kelly Slater & other ASP pros) have been riding quads lately. Guys riding Mavericks around here in Northern California have been riding quads on 30+ foot waves. The speed is insane and you don't have a ton of trade off on the ability to turn.....
Thus, I would sum it up this way: If you want to gain down the line speed, check out a quad. If you are used to a single fin, the quad will haul ass. If you are used to a thruster setup, you won't have to pump as much in flat spots on the wave.
There you have it....
