Hi Kdropin i'm F511 and 12 and half stone give or take which is around 78-80kg. I've been surfing for 20 years and am no KS but can do most manoeuvres.
RobinL hi yeah i only go to the better spots and dont tend to go (unless desperate) under waist high so hopefully it will fit good. I had it delievered yesterday and feeling it up underarm it feels...
Think i might order one, see how it grovels. If it goes well ill maybe sell the Dom. If not i might have to keep them all!!!
Cheers buzzy there's some useful stuff there. I rarely go unles it's waist or above so based in what you said it could be the ticket. Managed to find some other threads about the unibrow but there...
Hi guys looking for some banter in relation to the new Unibrow which has caught my attention. I love the round tail shapes ever since jumping on the Dom. I'd always ridden pretty much squashes or...
Cheers. Yeah its FST. I think if i was to do something like that i would like it done properly otherwise a little knock would probaly pull the fin plugs out. I wouldnt wanna affect the intregity of...
Hi all could you give some advice on converting an Alternator to a tri/quad fin set up. Would prob ask local South Wales shaper JP if he could do it. Would adding to extra fin boxes cause any...
Hi all thinking of going custom. Any news on whether a round tail will be good to go on the Alterator and if so when? Also is there or will there be an option of choosing tri/quad fin options on...
Chris just read this and thought you have just described, what to date, i have been unable to put into words. I find the exact same deal with the Hellfire. When the surf is on and has a bit of push...
Prj yeah i bet it was even sizier down your way!! Proper unexpected MEATY swell eh?!!!
That has reminded me of a few recent Dom top turns now embedded in my brain! There was a good low the other day sitting in the bay of biscay. It chundered out surf for days but towards the end...
Chris yeah i guess i have been looking at finding my perfect volume. Suppose thats good if your looking at a one board quiver but if you want 2 or 3 boards there is little sense. Out of interest...
prj i'm 12st 6 give or take or (80kg) and used to ride a 6'3 as my go to back in the day. your probaly right on the MB just would need to get used to it. kdropin yeah thats an idea but i really like...
Yeah the MB looks great, not sure about the 6'0 thinner version though. Not much volume in that or am i just too used to hybrids now?
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...
Yeah i have a FST DOM 508 and an FST HF 510 and was thinking the HF seems to weigh comparitively more than the DOM. I figure its all good having a better glass job cos hopefully it will mean its...
The first minute or so of this he is on a Hellfire. Maybe a bit at the end too..

Sweet!!
My Patagonia rain jacket does the same thing. Can be annoying though. The water beads straight off so my trousers get wet and i look like i peed myself. Are the re-tuning kits good for any board? or...
When i was after a HF i was torn between the 600 and the 510 for the exactly the same reasons as you. Chris and the boys here gave great advice and pointed me towards the 510. Its spot on for me and...
Cheers guys. Just found that Rhino have started doing bags in smaller sizes..problem solved!!
Frederick, Hi. I got a simular 2 board quiver to you in that the Dom is a simular style board to your CI. I used to have an 600 Alternator but found after riding the Dom it wasn't as user friendly as...
Hi Nevster!! First up thanks for giving me some serious stoke from the Dominator and Hellfire (previously the Alternator too). Awesome boards that have helped me push the limits and definately the...
Yeah man Chitos lost it. The title is even 'How does the Hellfire ride?' !!!!
