Sided mine yesterday when I expected chest high surf and took the Dom with me, to discover head high to 1.5x head high hollowish waves. The board went absolutely fine. No skipping, skittering etc. I surfed badly but the board was fine. Normally I'd use the Alt in those conditions.
Did you change the fins?
165cms 89Kgs dry...working on that at the moment...but not working!!! :)

Fins: Elevons, Solus, Controlllers, Jordy,AM2,
Yeah, I changed over the basic fibreglass 7's for PC7's. Oddly it seemed to make a real difference. I still haven't tried out my info fin controllers yet though!
yeah a fin quiver is SO key....
good stuff buzzy!

The Dom was borne for that stuff, waist to overhead, not so good on big hollow stuff but still can cope.
