    Yeah I have noticed that as well
    Hopefully the FST doesn't come out as thick as the PU version of the mini driver
    Might have to go a Razor if that's the case

    Here is something from Matt In response to a question on his blog site regarding different dims to the pu stock

    hi matt,
    have been riding a pu version of a 5'10 mini in southern mex the last 4 weeks. didn't get any big swell but you could feel the potential of the board on the occasional sneaky set... made me feel more confident and under control on critical takeoffs and turns compared to my subscorcher but worked as great on the small days too. stoked. thank you.
    my question:
    just saw the mini on the fwire website.
    for what reasons did you change the dims & volumes compared to your standard stock ones?
    In case of the 5'10, the fst is 19.25 x 2.38 & 27.8litre as opposed to stock dims 19.5 x 2.38 & 28.5litre ??
    thanks for your input.

    I am not really sure, more than I wanted them to have some variety. I think the stock dims on the PU are a bit on the small wave, full wide size and for the FW I wanted to make them kinda an indestructible travel board for decent to good waves.'

    Sounds like a ripper.

    yeah there is a bit of difference between the two, but they both definitely are rippers...
