Hi Guys,

I ended up changing my 5'10 PN down to a 5'8 and rode it for the 1st time today (I am 92kg & 6ft tall). I loved the 5'10 but Judy found it had too much volume.

I took a trip down the south coast of Sydney this morning and arrived on sunrise to find 3ft peaks in offshore conditions. Rights a bit fat but lefts running with a barrel end section. Well all I can say is the PN was fantastic. I was a little concerned it might be a little light for me but even at 33.9L it still had plenty of float and was super fast.

2 inches less means this model is way looser. I have the FST in the FCS and rode it with Sunny Garcia fronts and SF4 trailers. A good combo. When I picked up the board I got myself a pair of MR twinnies and are looking forward to giving them a go.

I was interested to know if anyone has tried those on a PN and if so what trailers they used. I am planning on using the SF4's. Keen to hear how they went.

Thanks

Thanks guys, appreciate your feedback. I have changed to KR Luke Egan front fins and SF4 trailers. I found this much better but as Chris says, an adjustment in style has probably also helped. I don't think I slid once. I have surfed it 4 times now and enjoy it more each time. I'm finding it a revelation in 1-2ft.

I'm sure this has been covered in other threads but is there a consensus on a good FCS quad set for the more larger gentleman such as myself?

Guys,

I am also seeking some advice. I just bought a new 5'10" PN. I am an experienced surfer at 93 kg's & 6ft. I have an FST with the FCS fin set up. I have ridden it twice now as a quad with PC5 front fins and GXQ trailers. Today it was 2-3ft & fattish. One thing I found was that on a couple of occasions, when doing backhand re-entries the board would slide. Has anyone else experienced this. On a positive note the board has heaps of speed and is quite maneuverable. Not sure if the sliding is just because my fins are too small. I am going to ride again I the morning and plan to try as a thruster.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

What Size

I am 41, 6 foot and about 205. I just bought a 5'10" Potatonator FST. I am in pretty good shape and surf regularly in Sydney. After 2 rides I am thinking I could have gone the 5'8". The board has so much volume.
