    buzzy replied to a thread alternator vs quardafive in Alternator
    It's a bit theoretical as my Alt is 6'8" and my Q5 6'6". The Alt suited me at 93-96kg, but the Q5 better at my present 88-91kg. When in the right...

    I own both an Alt and Q5. I also own a Dom. I'm 47 yoa and around 200lbs. I can't honestly discern an awful lot of difference in performance terms...

    Good one Chris! I've had this board at 6'4" with me at 90kg for a month or two now. I love it. It's definitely my default board choice.

    I like my pads with the rear kick pretty much over the centre of the rear fin. Much further back and for me the board feels too "tippy".

    At your weight and age I'd have thought a 6'4" to 6'6" Spit and 6'6" to 6'8" Hellfire would be appropriate. You clearly like a bit more foam so I...

    True. In long threads you give up back checking on weight. Be that as it may your existing board is amply foamed and unless you're especially heavy...

    I don't think a longer UB would be any good as a step up for 2x overhead plus waves. It just carries too much volume and tail width. Longer lengths...
