Fokai,

Thanks for the setup your running. The stretch rears are a bit smaller than the rear SA4's, but I've got a little more weight (not the good kind) for the fins to support, so it may work.

I just bought a 5_5 baked to replace my SP. I had controllers on my SP and loved the drive and lines they cut. I planned on getting controllers for this board but settled on futures SA4s. I've had...

Typo.... 5 6 fcs. I'm In San Diego.

Second in line... I have a 5 6" pcs that'd I'd be interested in trading.

thanks Chris

Chris and all,

I have a 5'6" Rapid Fire SP that I've been stoked on for over the last 6 months. I absolutely love the board, but I'm a bit surprised to see the nose cracking apart. I have...

Great write up...

I found the same with the Indo's. The spud was amazing with SF-4's in bigger surf, but felt like it was dragging in the smaller stuff. Got a pair of Indo's and the little...

Looks great!

How's she work compared to the Sweet?

You're gonna love this board! Just surfed my 5'6" today in head high slop and it hauled ass like a rocket!

Nice!

If you go to the Future website, you'll find the Controllers there. They categorize them as size large and you can also search for a fin by putting in your body weight.

I ran it up to 240 lbs and...

Put it waaaaay back.

For those looking for fins for the lil' Spud, here's some observations.

I rode a 6'2", 5'10", 5'8" and finally settled on the right size for me, 5'6".

When I got the board, I didn't have fins...

To follow up...

The controllers came in, and so did some better swell.

It was still weak Gulf swell, but gave me a better chance to evaluate the 5'6" and the fins.

First day, I rode...

Gnubee,

I'm not sure of any dealers in Texas that demo these. I bought my 5'10" from Bird's Surf Shed in San Diego when I was back home visiting. Once I got back down here, I ordered the 5'6"...

Hmmm,

Funny you say that. I tried out the 5'6" in 2-3 foot wind slop today and the board paddled well, but didn't have the drive I felt in the 5'8" and 5'10".

Now, as the shop that shipped me...

Here's my Suhweet Poh ta toe

Well, for those that have seen my posts...

I've ridden a 6'2", 5'10" and 5'8" Sweet Potato.

I bought the 5'10" after testing out a 6'2" and a 5'8" in good So Cal surf. Then I got it in what...

I'll have to be careful down here with the Gulf of Mexico heat. Hoping for some good hurricane swell this summer, as long as it doesn't hit land fall in Corpus.

Thanks for the tip on the back foot. When I tried the 6'2" out I made sure to do just that and it helped make the transition to the sweet seamless. Also, it turns out I'm a back foot orientated...

Iggy,

Thanks for the input. I went with the safe option and bought the controllers as I had seen yours and many other positive reviews on those fins on the SP.

Board should be in this...

Well,

My buddy who has been surfing a year tried out my 5'10" Sweet Potato and is hooked. He's buying my 5'10 and I'm going to down size to a 5'6".

I'm going to get a Rapid Fire rather than...

I rode a RP 6'2" in 8 foot Beacons north of San Diego. It was a demo and I thought it was going to be a complete disaster as I had never ridden such a weird little thing in a good sized swell.
...

Waxer,

I've ridden the 6'2", 5'10" and 5'8". I weigh in at 195 lbs, 6 feet tall and 36 YO. The 6'2" was big, but rode well in overhead surf. The 5'8" felt really loose, but paddled me just fine...
