quads in the gulf
If you are gonna ride mainly in the gulf waves then choose a quad not a tri.
tri's are for bigger waves with glassier surfaces, quads are for our choppy type smaller waves. quads plane up quicker than tri's but cannot hold as much wind as tri's. also, quads pivot on turns whereas tri's carve on turns. I am just over 200# and use a 5'9" quad, as well as a 5'5" quad, 5'6" tri and 6'1" tri, but the 5'9" is my go to for board for most of our conditions here an important consideration to choose is your rocker line and rail softness, I would do flatter rocker and soft rails for our conditions DO get full deck pads, with or without footstraps they are wayyyyyyyyy better than bare deck
