Thanks for the info seabass,
I’m happy to stick with the 6’2” at the moment especially coming into winter with my extra weight + full length wetsuit but I’ll still try the 6’0” MD as well for...

How much do you weigh seabass?
I'm thinking of trying the 6'0" MD but at 90kg I think its a stretch considering there is around 3 litres difference to the 6'2"
I think it will be too much of a drop

Looking forward to that report Big Leigh.
My wife is living it up in Bali without the kids at the moment - so that means I'll have a boat trip up my sleeve later and your report will no doubt be...

You'll be right Sarge - Tama gets like that doesn't it?

Hey Fan, what size did you go for?

gkekoa sorry to jump in but this may help

I'm around 89-90kg now and find the MD amazing in larger waves although I've only ridden it in 6-8ft bech break waves not reef.
It catches waves a lot...

its taken since Christmas but lately I can't live without the MD.
It's kinda been like a good looking girlfriend - you have heaps of little fights but you can't bring yourself to dump her cause she...

Haha! thanks Tallkook - cheque is in the mail!

Hey LateBloomer

6'3" v 6'1" - the 6'1" all the way! it has plenty of float and you won't have any issues catching waves at all - remember I was 95KG and had no issues and you are only 3 years...

LateBloomer I loved my El Fuego and should never have sold it
Just as a comparison I was 95kg / 205 pounds (and nooooo where near as fit as you sound!!!) and the 6'1" was perfect for me up until say...

Nice work Megzy - perfect waves for the BP!

Oh yes Stoop we all had that feeling at one time - it all starts innocently enough and then next thing - BING BAM BOOM!!!! - you don't know which one of your 5 board Firewire quiver to paddle out on...

C'mon Megzy where's ya bloody video???

Hey Stoop
If your local surf shop sells Futures fins then chances are they have a "Fin Tree".
The fins hanging on the tree are for demo purposes so grab a couple and give them a go!

Good luck...

My Futura was 35.4 litres but my Mini Driver is 33.9 and paddles a lot better so yep it's possible!

Fair call Iggy

Looks pretty good Erling but you could probably go a smaller Potatonator if you wanted - I'm 88kg on the 5'8.

Do it!
(but make sure its the right video lol)

Ha! ya killin me Buzzy!
I'm going to fly to QLD head office and try them all before I buy anything and the UB will be one of them for sure.

anyway I'm getting off this thread before I have...

You may have had the same issues on the 6'0" that I have on the 6'2" - too much foam in front of my leading foot.
I reckon the 5'10" FST version will be fine for you!

I love the MD even at the...

100% yes - as long as the size is right for you!

OK so I finally got some nice 3-4ft walls last Saturday – in fact Megsy and I surfed for 4 ½ hours and after going in and changing fins around 3 times over that period I think I have finally got my...

I'm not a quad guy but I tried the AM2 quads on the weekend and so far they have worked best for my 6'2" MD

You forgot Drop Bears

6'0" all the way dana. I am 85-88kg and the 6'2" is plenty for me in fact I am toying with the idea of downsizing to the 6'0 myself because I still haven't nailed this board and I think it is because...
