Lost F-1 Info

[Chris]

Hey Stylar,
post your dims and serial number.

Thanks

Hi Chris, I'm not really concerned with my board, it works great. The issue I'm trying to work out is if the website is wrong.
My main reason is I was looking at the hellrazor in 6'1 at 29.1 ltr, and looked at the F-1 info page and it stated my dims FF1-603Q-05 6'3 x 19.5 x 2 3/8 is at 28.9 ltr, so based on that the 6'1 hellrazor would work.
What made me check again was I saw 2 F-1 boards in store with FF1 603Q-03 6'3 x 19 x 2.5 have 28.9 printed on the rail. This is what I remember them to be when I bought my board the FF1 603Q-05 was 29.7 which is just under my taj at the time of 29.9
So Chris can you check what's printed on the website is correct
FF1-603Q-03 6'3 x 19 x 2 1/2 29.7
FF1-603Q-05 6'3 x 19.5 x 2 5/16. 28.9
Or shouldn't it be the other way around
FF1-603Q-03 6'3 x 19 x 2 1/2 28.9. ( dims of boards i have seen instore)
FF1-603Q-05 6'3 x 19.5 x 2 5/16. 29.7
I used my better sense of judgement and went with the 6'3 HR. But don't want anyone else to be confused by this if the info page is incorrect.

Thanks Chris

Hey Stylar, the website is actually correct, so the dims listed below are what to look at.

Cheers and thanks for the extra attention. Hope the 603 Hellrazor works!

FF1-603Q-03 6'3 x 19 x 2 1/2 29.7
FF1-603Q-05 6'3 x 19.5 x 2 5/16. 28.9

Thanks for your help chris. You might want to pass it onto quality control that there are 2 F-1 boards that I have seen with the incorrect volume written on the rail 603Q 6'3 x 19 x 2 1/2 @ 28.9.
I will keep my 6'3 HR for heavier stuff, and will sell my 6'3 F-1 for a 6'0 Michel.
A bit blown away by how well my F-1 paddles then if it's only 28.9 ltrs and me at 90+ kgs.
I haven't quite clicked with My F-1 anyway, it's been hot and cold, I think the extreme pulled in rounded squash in the last inch or two, doesnt have enough bite in the tail, and I feel at times its about to slide out on hard bottom turns.
Maybe it needs a fin that has a lot of rake in it for more hold, because the board turns on a dime.
Thanks

Found this pic from the old website listing the dims of the F-1, again it supports the 603Q5 @ 29.7 and the 603Q3 @ 28.9. So again I'm confused.
With board volume being an integral part of choosing the right board, in the end I hope the right info is posted.

I'll leave it in your trustworthy hands Chris to sort it out.

Cheers stylar

Stylar not sure where that one came from.
But as we previously discussed:

FF1-603Q-03 6'3 x 19 x 2 1/2 29.7
FF1-603Q-05 6'3 x 19.5 x 2 5/16. 28.9

Thanks!

I just traded my Futura in for the 6'1 F1 and really like it so far. I also have a 6'2 Taj that is my go to shortboard for overhead stuff but wanted something a little different. So far Ive ridden the GMB-5's exclusively & had no complaints but just got a set of H3 larges Im stoked to try.

Ive been riding Firewires for probably 4+ years and have ridden pretty much every model. My advice to anyone in between volumes or lengths is to go with the smaller & surf the hell out of it. You always want to buy a board above your ability that you can push yourself on.

Volume does not make up for poor fitness no matter what you ride.
