As this is a Longboard forum, my shortest 9 footer is marked up as 9'0, but I bet it's 9'2 if I run a tape over it!

My shortest board I rode was 5'10 Stringerless Fish, by Neil Purchase Jnr.
This is it...

I also spent a considerable amount of time on the white Single Fin 6'6 Merrick / Rob Machado (Generation 2 - they carry a cool sketched logo, not the normal Channel Islands logo).
