Catch-ability and top end of the Chedda?

[daveo]

Csarqui-

Im 6'3 and 175-180lbs. I got the 6'1 chedda 33.1L and it feels like the perfect size for me. I would recommend the 510 or 511 for you based on what else your using.

daveo: what size was the dominator you had, and did you feel that it had the right volume for you?

[daveo]

Erling-

I had a 600 dominator. If I was to get a new one I would go 510 for sure. The 600 sure made groveling and catching waves ridiculously easy and still surfed very well, but im sure the 510 would be my more optimal volume for performance. That's why I volumed down to the 601CC. By no means am I bashing the dom. It is a sick board. One of my favorites ever. I just wanted a squash tail back under my feet and so far the cc has only made me smile.

I have had the C.C for about a month. I have surfed it from knee to double overhead and it goes sick. A one board quiver for sure! I had a Hellfire before and loved that but this board goes as well in top end as the Hellfire but much better in the bottom end stuff. I have the 5'11 and at 80kg it seems perfect :)

Paulnunn: sounds perfect!! :D
I'm 80kg and was aiming for the 5'11 as well. Where do you use it and do you use 6mm full wintergear or boardshorts? Not a huge difference between 5'11 and 6' , did you have a look at both before you decided ?
And what fins are you using ?

at boarshop.co.uk the board comes with FCS PC3 fins.... seems a bit small for someone around 80kg. Should this board be surfed with smaller fins than normal?

I'd put K3s in it. Or at least PC5s. 3s would be too small for you.

[Erling]

Yeah, K3/K2.1/PC5 would be my fist choices in it...

How is the concaves in it? Seems like a deep single?

Maybe a hint of double over the rear fin. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet to say for sure.
Shane at FW Europe was frothing over the CC sample though. Said it was like the Sub Scorcher but better.

[Erling]

looks like the CC is hitting UK in March. After all this great feedback I might have to pre-order one.

If I didn't had a vanguard on order I'd have a CC on order...
