Hi,

I am currently surfing a 6'3 el fuego in Oceanside, Ca and I am looking for the next board up performance wise - 6' 215lb and fit and surf and better than intermediate but not quite advanced - the el fuego paddles great, I have been wanting to whip my turns around a little faster, especially on forehand snaps, and have grown performance wise.

I was thinking maybe a 6'6 alternator or 6'4 futura - for those that have ridden a wide range of firewires, please let me know your opinion.

For high tide fat days I ride a 5'8 potato.

Thanks

Gary
