Okay so i got a Dom and a Hellfire and like the rest of you guys absolutely love Firewire boards. In a ideal world i would like to build a 3 board quiver. Basically i want the most versatile set of boards to cover waves from 1-2ft (don't go if smaller) up to solid 5ft (rarely gets bigger where i live). I am in the upper intermediate to advanced catogory and much prefer power surfing on the rail to the new school stuff. The waves i surf range from mushy and crumbly beachbreaks, fairly powerful beachies to nice reefs and points.
So far my Dom has served me great at the lower end and i have had so much fun on it on small days. At the moment I don't see how if i went to something like a potatonator i could have any more fun as it goes great at the bottom end. My Hellfire is great for average to good surf although i do feel like there is something missing on occasions. When its good its great but i think i could do with something a little more refined. Growing up on thrusters i feel the need to go back to basics and feel like i am missing out some refinement. I am definatley not looking for a glass slipper and have always liked my boards with a touch more volume than normal. I think something like a flexfire would be too refined and i want a set of boards that work for me without me having to make them work if you know what i mean. I did have a 600 Alternator at one point but i because i wanted more of an allrounder i swapped it for the Hellfire.
Ideally i am looking for HP to add my existing quiver but that might create a lot overlap so i would consider reluctantly replacing boards if it gave me more depth.
So given all that would your choice be?
