thanks guys. I have a 6'4 stealth which i think is the right size for me. maybe the 6'2 would be better, but I'm happy enough with what I've got. I actually have a 6'6 dominator which I got for a small wave board...and you're right, its WAY too big. It rides almost like a funboard for me, and I often spin out when i try to do a sharp bottom turn. not to mention I can't duck dive it in any surf of consequence. for reference, I'm probably what's considered advanced beginner, I can do weak cutbacks and weak ass floaters and half-snaps...the calculator put my minimum volume at 39 (if beginner) and 39 for a max at intermediate, so I'd say its spot on, as thats the volume right where my stealth is at. I'm guessing the 6'2 dominator is what I should be on. I want to get an alternator for the bigger days (I find the fatter tailed, less rockered boards pretty scary on take offs when it gets steep, so need something more traditional), should I keep the same volume? that wouuld be a 6'8 alternator for me. wasn't sure if I should go slightly up or slightly down on volume as the boards and surf got more serious. Thanks for all your help!
I think the fact that FW has the volume on all boards is a great tool
Especially after you have been riding them for a while
It minimizes that stab in the dark decision when it comes to buying a board without looking at it first
How many times do you order from a shaper and get something either too big or small
(probably my fault)
Gives me more confidence in ordering and getting what I want

Bageldog, I suspect the 6'6" Alt would be ideal at your weight.
Sorry, just saw you're an advanced beginner. If so the 6'8" would be the better length.
hi guys, am new to firewire and I will be ordering a SPITFIRE by this week for the weaker wind swells near me. Hope to clarify on the usage of the Volume Calculator. E.g. I am 5'8 and 65 kg and I consider myself intermediate (low or early entry). The cal gave me a min of 21.5 and max of 27.9. As specified by Firewire, the max volume will be a reference to the optimum volume of my hybrid / pure stoke boards. Since the SPITFIRE is a performance hybrid and as a rule of thumb, it should be less user friendly than a hybrid / pure stoke. Therefore, I should slightly adjust this max volume (add a few more) to identify the performance hybrid board that suits me. Am I right to make such an assumption ?
Appreciate any kind of help / advice.
Thanks in advance.
I'd say you'd be looking in the 5'6" range. 5'4" if you wanted to go small.
5'6" will be my call considering what you just saidOriginally Posted by cliffton

Hi PRJ and Iggy,
You guys have been very helpful throughout the forum.
Thanks.
Hey Cliffton, where abouts in Malaysia are you? Up west towards the Andaman Sea somewhere? Just curious about the waves you might be riding.
Jesus is coming, look busy!
Moving forward or just spinning faster?
