Hi Guys,
My info is 170lb 5'9.
Been surfing a 6'0 Dominator for 2 months now 2-3 ft beach break waves. FCS k2.1 medium. I can ride it down the line all day but the response is a bit stiff. Should I go down to a 5'10 or a 5'8? Or should I get a performance hybrid? any recommendations? like the mini-driver?
Trying to perfect my bottom turn n hitting the lip. Thanks Guys
I'd go 5'8", but if you're in punchy waves you could look at the performance hybrids also.
Thanks for the quick response!
From a 6'0 to a 5'8 Dom is almost 4 liter drop. Would that be too much of a transition?
How would the paddling be?
Yea, the 6'0 is way to big for you. I ride a 5'6 and looking to possibly get a 5'4 and I weigh between 155-160. I think you could even ride the 5'6, but the 5'8 will float you plenty!

Do you think it will do well in 2-4ft waves? riding them in the k2.1

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
I am a bit heavier than the thread host: 175lb (80kg) by 5'10 (179cm)
Should I go for the 5'8 or 5'10 dominator?
If you're a competent surfer I'd still say 508 unless your planning on using it for small mush.
