I am a big F2 fan. I have always liked F2s construction, shapes, and durability. I think this is the best board out of the bunch, mainly because it is a 284, and you want to use it with a 6.5.
Fanatic and Tiga are good boards too. The Tiga would work as well, but is a bit smaller. I think you will appreciate the larger board. That F2 Ride will handle pretty nicely in chop, even though it is larger. Later when you get your skills wired, then go a bit smaller. SoCal is mod-light wind anyway, so you could even go 7.5 on that board (284), whereas the 271, forget the 7.5.
I dont know what size that Bee is. If it is close to the F2, then Fanatic isnt bad. But my choice would be the F2 for sure. |

I tried the Bee 124 Ltd this past December in Bonaire. its a little smaller than the F2 Ride 284 in volume. The F2 is 130L and the Bee is 124L. The Bee is very easy to jybe, especially comming out the jybe planning. Its sail range from 5.5 to 7.5. The biggest sail I used was 6.0m in moderate wind 15 knots/hour. And I was flying. The bee is about $250.00 more expensive. |

The Tiga is the same board as a Bic Techno 283, and is the largest of the group. A 6.5 would be the smallest sail you would want to use on this board. |
