Hey guys.
i am looking forward to buy a new board propably the FW HF.
At the moment i am surfing a surftech retrofish 6.2//21 3/10 // 2 1/2 that fits me very well - perhaps a bit too much volume....
Now i am looking for something new for cleaner and hollower (?) waves - up to head high.
As i am living in Hamburg GER i am a holidaysurfer- mostly in France/Spain/Portugal
I got 88kg/190-195 lbs/ and 192 cm/ 6.3
I got to say, that i like those hyprid and retroboards - thats why i am not looking forward to surf a small classic stick one day.
Also had a look at the El Fuego D-tail. Very interesting shape. But same problem : 6.1 or 6.3 ?
But i guess that the el fuego is very similar to my retrofish...

Thanks a lot so far!

and excuse me for my written english...

Cheers Nic

Hey guys.
I am looking forward to buy a new surfboard.
I am living in germany and usually surf in franc, span portugal.
at the moment i am using a 6.2 // 21 3/10 // 2 1/2 surftech retrofish which fits me very well- maybe bit too much volume..
i got 88 kg/ 195 lbs and i am 6.3 high (192cm).
Now i searching for a board that works better in fast and hollower (?) waves up to head high.
I got to say that i am not looking forward to surf a small shortbard some day. i guess i like those hybrids and retroboards...

Now i cannot really decide. Hellfire seems to be a good option. But should i take 6.4 or 6.2?
The el Fuego looks pretty good as well.. same problem: 6.3 or 6.1

Thanks a lot so far!

Tim

Hey guys.
or whats it called in northern Germany: Moin, moin.


I got a question depending the hellfire - why i am not shure which one to take.
I surf a couple of weeks the year, mostly summerwaves in france, spain, portugal.
At the moment i use a 6.2*21 3/10 * 2 1/2 Surftech rendel frensh retrofish fitting me very well - maybe a bit tooo much volume...
i am 192 cm high (6.3-6.4), and got 88kg (about 191-195 lbs depending on the wetsuit). intermediate level, i guess...

Now i am looking for a board to go further- somith for hollower (?) and faster waves to head high.
i got to say, that i like those hybrids and retroboards. (mayby its because of the extra volume =))
i guess i am just not too much interested in a "classic shortboard style" at the moment.

Now i am thinking about a 6.2 or 6.4 hellfire and cannot decide.
Or something more alternative like the El fuego ( 6.1 or 6.3 ? i just dont know..)

Thanks a lot so far.
cheers
