I'm seriously thinking about the Activator because it has a little more rocker and looks like it can handle steeper drops while still being a good paddler.

How does it compare with the spitfire?

biggegst difference in my opinion is going to be in the way the boards responds when surfing it off the tail. the activator has the double wing which really gives added bite off the bottom in steeper, faster situations, but might not generate the same small wave speed as the spitty.

If the Spitfire is best in 1-3 think of the activator as 2-4....

Thanks Chris but am I correct in saying it has more rocker? Watched a few video reviews (Sam or Secret's) and they suggested it "might" have a bit more.

I recently quizzed the guys at the Currumbin Factory on this question. They have advised it has the same rocker as the Dom.
