It will replace my Dominator, that is why I kept the volume up but it really has a way better performance ceiling.

    We'll be getting more info up online about the board once we are finished sussing out the rest of the sizes...

    I'm guessing there isn't a lot of other info for you yet! Early days.

    Very pretty indeed. It looks to have a little more rocker overall than the Dom, which is great. There appears though to be a fair amount of volume in them. Any idea if that is concentrated around the centre and then incresingly more refined toward the rails? I only ask because both the 6'4" and 6'6" (which would be the appropriate boards for my size) appear to have around 1/8" to 2/8" more thickness than I'd have expected.

    Looks like the wide point is a little below center. I wonder if the Unibrow is to the Dominator is as the Hellfire is to the Spitfire? (did I say that right?)

    not quite!!

    The Unibrow is a bit more thinned out, but with a more conventional high performance bottom contour. THe hellfire is a pretty radical shape. The Unibrow is a little more of a performance ripper with some hybrid DNA.
