    Quadfish??? what about the potato???. For the really small stuff the potato will give you the same wave range than your fish but with waaay more maneuverability. A playtoy for small waves.

    If you decide to stay with the quad fish the 5'6" will float you more than enough, will be a nice cruiser.

    Is a different feeling, the quad fish has a more straighter down the line approach. The potato will give more fun to the smaller stuff,allowing you to go all over the place.For something a bit bigger you have your Dom. Unless you are looking for a board for hen waves get better.
    What conditions are you looking to fill the board for?

    Well the last video does not make enough justice to the board but the point is that,in my opinion, if you are looking for a board to have fun on small waves, then I would choose the potato over the quad fish. For the "upper small" til mid you have the dominator and you could complete with the Hellfire/Hellrazor for mid to better condiptions.

    Yeah mate...it is borderline and the fact that you are 154 lbs confirms the 5'9" is right...161 lbs just seemed heavier and closer to needing more volume for where you are etc
    My wife tells me I am perfect... and right all the time...But I am beginning to think she may be wrong...The 5'11" Hellrazor would be nice alternative to the El Fuego...Similar volume and a tad more high performance...
