Like them in my Spitfire. Only surfed in thruster. The base is huge! The leading edge of the base partially covers the screw hole for the fin boxes. You can get em on okay but it makes it a two...

Damn, you guys have given me new combos to think about. I'm thinking AM2 + Rusty trailer vs. Jordys + Rusty trailer need to get in the Octagon.

@ Scott Danger - will have to try that setup. Seems interesting. Yeah I definitely preferred the smaller trailers in a quad setup for the Spitfire. Those Rustys seem perfect size and shape. ...

Winner by decision: Jordy

Well I really trained hard for this bout of big guy thrusters. Lots of Stone IPAs (local brewery) and many runs to Five Guys for burgers. Topped out at 186 lbs....

Winner by decision (almost too close to call): Machado

Surfed a shoulder high beach break today at high tide and then a fast reef point at low tide. The Machados felt like knives slicing...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Gonna be posting Round #2 shortly. Unfortunately the Jordy v. Roberts fight has been postponed until further notice. My buddy grabbed the Jordy's to "try out" for...

Surfing my 5’ 8” Spitfire and splitting sessions between a pair of fins. I surf a combination of beach speed-walls, sandbars, mixed reef and reef points in the North Country San Diego area. ...

Yep. Just checked and I've got the 4" larger rear fins...

Early Christmas present for SoCal...:)

Yep. Same here. Whatever came with Elevons set.

Let us know where you net out FW. I'm checking out a new PN this weekend.

Nice vid Iggy. OMG thing looks to carry speed so well.

Good advice Slow.

Damn Iggy. You are gonna cost me another $750 with your Pnator talk! Sounds fun. I may go check one out this weekend. #wifewillbepissed

I second what Iggy and FW said. Elevons work better for me on that board than the controllers. Great board and fin combo! Freaky fun.

Been surfing a 502 SP for the past couple months and loving it. It is the smallest board I've ever surfed but the short length and big volume makes the 1-3 gutless so much fun. Hooking little...

I've owned both a 508 Dom and Spit. In my experience paddling and planing at takeoff was the same. Dom could handle the flat sections a tad better -- especially if weight was on back foot. Spit could...

Been using them in my Potato lately and they are great. Also tried Controllers but the Elevons seem to generate better speed and turn nicely. I'm hooked on the Potato + Elevon combo so bad that my...

510 or even the 508 has plenty of float and paddle for a 173lb. intermediate to advanced surfer. Your height and also what you're used to know may also factor. For instance if you're on the taller...

Rode my 508 DOM at a couple feet overhead in thruster setup. No problem with sliding out on the face or anything like others have mentioned. But when I had a good deal of speed from big drops I...

Great advice from forum so far, Will. I vote for the 5'8" Spit. I currently ride a 5'8" DOM (same volume and shape forward of fins) and it suits me in about 80% of the waves we get here in SoCal...

Photoshop skills...(Core w/ Shiny Slater Head)

Dominator size: 508

Your weight: 180

Thruster set-up: H-3 FCS, a few times with PC-7

Quad set-up: No need. Not yet at least. Have some Stretch Quads eyed for summer time.

Thoughts: I've...

Sorry for massive delay but I was busy updating my Firewire quiver. Despite better judgement I went a tad longer than I anticipated at 6'. Been pushing lower to mid 180s these days and felt the...

Wandi, Core, thanks for the fin recs. Bouncing around San Diego shops the past few days trying to find a 510HF with FCS plugs. Swell hitting tomorrow. Should be perfect testing ground.

Great board review, Wandi. I'm about your weight, maybe a touch more, on a 5'8" DOM FST right now and love it but it maxes out when it gets big. Been eyeing the HF for a while and even surfed my...
