Timmy, I have the Hellfire 5 10 and i am the same height and weight as you and sounds like similar ability.I wear a 4/3 wetsuit here in tassie most of the time.For me the hellfire is now my everyday board (wouldnt mind a potatoenator though) it paddles well, is super fast and turns like a dream, this board is really starting to improve my surfing,i have it set up as a thruster with fcs al merrick am2s. I highly recommend it.

Finally got my Hellfire which id be dreaming about for sometime now and went for the 5 10 in fst over the 5 8.Im 5 10 and 75 kg and wear a 4/3 wetty most of the time here in tassie and only get to surf on weekends mostly.Ive only surfed the board once as a quad in 2ft glassy conditions and am pumped on how well it went .It paddles well and gets into waves as easily as my 5 6 fishcuit which is 35 litres.The board just flys,the only problem i found was trying to go vertical, this could be due to my ability as well.I used k2.1 with gx trailer fins, next test will be as a thruster and see if i can get this baby going vertical.

I have the K2.1 Thruster set and am2 quad set up in my Fishcuit,do you reckon if i put the front K2.1 and gx trailers this would be a nice loose quad set up on the Hellfire?Has anyone surfed the hellfire with the K2.1 as a thruster ?I have K2.1 thruster and the orange am2s thruster and gam thruster setups and am wondering if they will go well enough so i dont have to buy more fins when i get my Hellfire.
