No worries prj, I'm pretty familiar with the zone because of my weight and the fact that i have had Dom, Hellfire, Unibrow, Flexfire, Potatonator and Alternater all in the same range. I find a 3...

prj, a 5/10 Unibrow for an 86kg intermediate surfer???? Thats only 5 liters more at 30.2 ltrs than the best and fittest surfer [arguably] in the world who weighs 13kgs LESS and would probably be on...

Hi FW-fan, yes I know Daniel K, not well but my brother who lives at Whale Bay knows him well. D's grandfather used to scare the hell out of us as grommets, come and stand on the same boulder we...

Hi maxcap and FW-fan, I'm writing from my room at Coconuts in Nusa Lembongan. Arrived today after 3 days in Seminyak, one working, two trying to find a wave that didn't close out. Too big and too...

Hi maxcap, I would suggest whatever sits between 34 litres and about 39 liters if you are intermediate, I demoed a 5/4 sweet P and found it easy to ride but a little slow to paddle. I like to surf...

Hi all, back to Coconuts again, got to know the owners Son in law now so get a good deal. Plus chilling in the infinity pool between surfs is hard to beat with its great view of Lacerations and...

And as they say, "the Devil is in the detail", keep up the tweaking, theres a better lightbulb out there somewhere!

No Slowman, not that exotic unfortunately. I face the eternal married surfers dilemma: go for broke and stress the relationship or reach some compromise that works for all concerned! I have it pretty...

Hi maxcap, i'm sitting by a pool in a $30 mill house in Singapore looking after friends kids till we go to Indo on Saturday so I'm bored too. Re our discussion, two solids of the same volume do not...

I think I need some of what you are on in order to continue the conversation! You are almost correct except that its not just the air trapped inside the materials that make up a surfboard [foam,...

Know the feeling. I finished one session on my new Unibrow really disheartened because it seemed to be behaving so randomly. No bite, slipping in turns, lacking drive. Put it down to being really...

If two boards have identical volume but one is lighter than the other, it will float better. A lead filled balloon vs an air filled one, which one are u going to abandon ship with! Every gram of...

Hi RobinL, yep, this is my 4th visit to Nusa Lembongan, 8th or so to Bali. I think the knubster just adds feedback and centering during turns when a wider tailed Quad is transitioning between fins...

Yeh prj, I would say now that it does, but nothing like a Taj or suchlike. It's weird how in a couple of years you adjust to new norms in terms of shape. The Dom seemed a flat slab when I first saw...

Hey Myles, u sure that wave was your only misdemeanor? Tony Moniz is a gentleman, and superb surfer, u must have ticked him off somehow? Iv'e surfed with him at Raglan and Piha [nz] and in Hawaii.He...

Hi all Unibrothers, really enjoyed my last 3 surfs with Shapers Quad E [large] fins and a diy knubster. Best of both worlds and still super easy to get it vertical. In Bali next Saturday; Nusa...

kdropin. I have fst, amazing durability from all my fst Firewires thus far. I would have bought Technograin if it was available as I think lighter is better in a board targeted at smaller waves. I...

Had mine in head and a half, goes real well with a lot more grip than a Dom. For me the backhand bottom turn it executes is amazing, smooth and responsive. One thing I have experienced tho, is that...

luismx, I don't think you have your conclusions quite right. The Uni is a MUCH more refined Dom, a very slightly more refined Hellfire. It felt smaller underfoot to me than the Hellfire, even tho...

Hey Gkekoa, you know Tony Moniz? I surfed with him in NZ and also Sunset and Diamond Head in early 90's, real gentleman, and phenomenal surfer! Good bro in the Lord as well.

Probably not much difference btw the two, all things considered. The Unibrow"s volume tapers from under your chest quite quickly fore and aft, making the board more instantly reactive and sensitive...

I would say too much overlap with Baked and P/nator. A very slightly higher volumed Spit grovels really well but would handle larger surf as well. They have amazing range. I regret selling my Dom for...

Hi luismx, neither board is truly high-performance. They both have a lot of area under your back foot which make them harder to get up on rail when carving off the flats at the bottom of a fast,...

3rd surf on the Unibrow today, soft, ill-defined, random 2 footers. Bit of a lottery, but 3 people commented on the board's performance. Previous last surf, local teenage hotshot who competes on...

Secondhand back up board for larger surf, Fiji etc. Only surfed it twice but I always go for uncomplicated large fins that don't let go easily, PC 7's etc.
