    Guys, I finally got the 5'8. The guy at the shop is a good friend and gave the chance of riding it and if it feels too big I'll get the 5'6.

    Hey guys, I' got the H3 Nexus in small to try it as a thruster. Whatare your thoughts on this?

    Thanks

    Yeah they might be a little small for you and I think the wide tail on the p-nator lends itself better to a quad set up. But it is always a bit of experimentation until you find the fins and set up that suit you best.
    Jesus is coming, look busy!
    Moving forward or just spinning faster?

    I 'd like to add my voice to the posts recommending the Futures Scimitar fronts w/ the Controller rears as a quad setup on the PN.
    Plenty enough drive, and not too 'tracky' to really turn - the best so far!

    Hi i'm brand new on this forum, and looks for advices on potatonator for small waves (1' to 4' ) mushy with summer onshore winds in France.

    I'm 5'11 and 205, my daily driver is a dominator style 6'7 x 21 x2.75 quad that must be around 4é or 43 L.
    That board should make me surf in small gutless mushy surf but be able to do its job in better surf as well.
    Is the potatonator ok or should I go towards a baked potato?

    Hi, what fins do you run in your 5'4 potatonator? Ordering a 5'4 future fin nator. I too have a 5'2 sweet potato. Still worried it will be too big a step dwn in volume and should get the 5'6. Would hat be too simillar to the 5'2 sweet potato?? Rusts quads of smaller? 5'6 145 pounds average surfer
