Hi, I'm 5'5" or about 169cm. About 67kg.
I want a directional for Vic surf beaches. Small to med waves. I'm not going to ride waves bigger than me ever!
I rode a North WAM for a tiny bit and it felt sweet as, read lots of good things. What about the Cabrinha Skillet? (fatter) Naish "Skate".
The fish styles are a lot shorter, will this benefit me or is the smallest WAM (5'8") fine to throw around?
Thanks!

The Cab Skillet 5'6" would suit you well, I have one 2011 left going out the door to some lucky kiter for $750, but something around that size would be best for you in the conditions you want to ride in.

If you liked the wham go the wham its a great board 3 fins or 4 its good allround and surf boards are very personal . (What one guy loves someone else may not.)
Have fun George

Depends on the waves you are riding in. Wider tail for slop, narrower for actual waves.
picked up a 6' 0" WAM the other day myself, looks the goods, just need some wind now. ( I'm 5'11" and 85kg)

Scour around the verge collections pick up an old board
Slap some fins on it - there you go your off
Enjoy
Get used to surfbaords first before you part with $$ you might enjoy the feel of a poly compared to a production board
