Would you recommend getting a fish or shortboard?

I have been surfing a lot lately and I want to graduate from my 6'8 funboard to something shorter. I dont know whether to go for a fish or a shortboard. I want to eventually start rippin it but I am afraid I wont be able to handle a shortboard yet, because I still sometimes have balance trouble. All i know is that I want off this NSP funboard! So what would you recommend? I'm 5'3.5 and 100lbs if that helps...
 
Get a 5'8" shortboard. I'm almost 5'11" and I ride a 5'8", but I have been surfing my whole life. If you get a shortboard then you can keep getting better as you get older and you will grow into it. If you get a fish then when you get better you can't do good rips or boost airs very well. Go with the shortboard, trust me you'll love it.
