Hey Delmar
I have both boards and I love them both in different ways.

My 6'0 HF is a bit on the higher side of my volume range and a great all round board, more suited to a bit less steep and...

I recommend AM2 5 fin set as a good all round 3 and 4 option.

[QUOTE=Erling;14911]Savagebee:
I see you have a 6'1 and a 6'3 Hellrazor (in your signature). We're about the same size. How do they compare, and why do you have both? How does the volume, paddle and...

Great stuff core. Because you are explaining the subtlety of the variables and how much of a black art deciding on the best fin is. In the end we all need to try different fins before we will know...

Hey Marc
508 spit would be plenty big for you. I ride 508 and am 10+ kg heavier than you. Floats and paddles fine for me but probably on the small side for grovel conditions. You could go 506 but I...

Hey mmaff, I got Rasta quads as my first set of fins with my spitfire, was also my first Futures board. I don't like them so much, but maybe it's just me. I find them not drivey enough and probably...

Great stuff Deon, I'm originally from Durban but regret that I never made it up to Flameballs. Living in Sydney now so Fiji is a lot closer. Have you tried the fcs AMG (futures = am2) fins? I really...

I agree try GAM(FCS) or AM2(futures) which is the larger Merrick fins. I think Hellfire needs a largish fin but these have the drive and hold but also release when pushed. Tried a few different fins...

Here are some. Photos by Joli who we were lucky enough to have as resort photographer for the week.

Just back from an awesome trip to Fiji. I took 4 boards Spit 508, Hellfire 600, Hellrazor 603 and a Chilli 608 step up which I bought last minute due to big swell forecast. Surfed mostly cloudbreak...

Yeah based on that criteria I definitely recommend the 6'0 Hellfire. It has plenty of float for the mushy 3 footers and will catch waves easy. 6'2 will be too big in my opinion and won't go as well...

Yup for me definitely Hellrazor in bigger waves. To me it feels so much more in control and predictable in high speed turns, it just seems to do exactly what you want it to. I must qualify this and...

I would go 600 hellfire or you might consider the 603 hellrazor. I think hellrazor may be better option if you want it for bigger waves.

If you throw away age and have a look at all the suggested sizings on these forums I think you could easily create a basis for a better calculator. Also if you want to do it properly then give some...

Nuno, I've not ridden the new board enough to judge fins for sure, but from my experience and reading on this forum I will recommend that you go for fins on the larger side. In FCS that would be AMG,...

I think the volume calculator is really bad and misleading. If I enter my true details intermediate, 82kg, 50 years old, average fitness, it gives me a volume range of 43 to 53. This is ridiculously...

Nuno, I agree, 602 would be plenty of board. You could go smaller to 600 even. I am 82 kg 6'1 intermediate and recently bought 600 Hellfire. It has plenty of float for me, catches waves and surfs...

Folded my almost brand new razor 6'1 rapid fire couple weeks ago, only about the 6th surf on it. Major bummer, happened on trying to recover from nosedive down double-overhead quite powerful wave....

Tubbs I agree with the others, go the 5'8. At 82 kg I'm really happy with it and goes great in the small punchy waves. It's the smallest board I've used but every time I surf it it feels more normal....

Thanks for clearing that up for me prj. I don't have much to compare with but my experience so far with Solus thrusters is really good! Went with this set due to Iggy posts and no regrets so far.

Yes yeeeew. After 2 more small wave surfs I'm totally stoked with this board! Faster and sharper turning than anything else I've ridden. Rasta quad is insane but hard to control, Solus thruster feels...

Got my 5'8 spit RF last week. A thing of beauty. My first reaction when I saw it was "eeek that's small!!".
First surf was in bumpy full 4-5 foot waves with rasta quad set. Was concerned that board...

I have FCS AMG and FCS Am2. Dont own Future AMs but looked at in shop and seem the same size and shape (but Fcs AMG = Futures AM2). However Futures have some built-in outward angle off the base but...

Am getting a 5'8 spitfire in the next couple days with Futures boxes. I am 82kg 6'1. Have only used Fcs on my other boards so first time using futures.
I have been doing a lot of research on this...

Hey Marin
Take this for what its worth from someone who has yet to ride the spitfire but has ordered one based on research and other board volumes.
If I were your size and fitness and wanting to...
