Okay, so it turns out beachcomber13 is right. I just measured all these fox and the average length is 33 inches nose to base of tail. Most females are around 32 with the eight-nine pounders being 31. The males went 33-34.


Eh...wot?

Hey, thanks for saying so, Lugnut. Love those nice long boards, mine are just four footers.

Wasn't trying to cause a stir or to pee on Miley's parade, just stating what I have found over the years.
