Can I be 6’8” with size 10 feet?

Only bugger about being tall is generally your feet are 12, 13 + which limits board selection.

I voted 6’8” cause at 5’5” you would always be angry!!!!!! (The dreaded short man syndrome!!!!)

This thread reminds me of when we went to NZ last year. I’m 6ft and 2nd from the left. Phil on the right is about 6ft 8 or so.

Personally I think I’d choose short over tall. Just so many more hassles being tall.

And you can still get on a rollercoaster at 5ft5. If you said 4ft7 (dwarf) then I’d go for tall.
