    Good work! I could easily switch between the 6'2" and 6'4" for average days, but I reckon I'd suffer on the smaller days on the smaller board. I think you'd be fine on either. Good luck!

    Just FYI I am thinking of getting an Alt at 6'6" for hollow days in bigger (but not huge) surf...just reducing volume a touch to add more control. Having said that I've never felt out of control on the Alt.

    Should add I'd still keep the 6'8" Alt.

    Hi Buzz, I am now the happy owner of an Alternator in 608 and a Spitfire 604, tried out the 602 Dom using a 3/2 mm suit and it felt very similar to my current 602 blackbox in terms of volume, so I decided to go for the 604 to differentiate and have something for the smaller days, and then a Spitfire as the Dom was not on stock, anyway will be surfing both this weekend, Ill post an update after the weekends session:-)

    Didnt bring camera, but it was awesome and empty, brother and I had it all to ourselves for and hour and half then about 15 people arrived at once. Double overhead on the take off at a left hand reef break, steep takeoff will solid walls which flatten out after 200yrds - the Dom was amazing, Id been surfing my semi gun in bigger surf recently then the spud when it small. i had forgotten how good the Dom was. Take off, hard drawn bottom turn and a big vertical off the top re-entry - just felt so good. Also on another one steep take off, bottom turn drove it up the face vertically and 'almost' got my first big 360 just fluffed it in the soup. Great day - one where you leave the surf exhausted but pumped.
