So the partner is looking at getting a custom board (looking hard at a McTavish Scooter) I've got a short list of what things she should go over with them in getting the right board for her - anything I'm missing?

-What your looking for out of the board,
-What your riding currently - and what you like dont' like about them
-The kind of surf you want to ride it in/where you surf ,
-How confidant a surfer you feel (beginer, intermediate, advanced),
-Weight,
-Height
-How strong a paddler you are - can you physicaly catch every wave you paddle for
-Fin set up

The one Thommo put up was a 6' they make them 5'8" to 6'6"

Think she's sent them an e-mail - we'll see how she goes.
