Lost Minnie Driver?

[robgnyc]

I think the Losts generally come in one thickness per size. They usually follow Losts standard stock sizing dims. I agree it is great to find a design you like with all the dims spot on but I think with the Losts, it's whatever Matt Biolos wants to offer, Firewire doesn't have as much flexibility in sizing with the collabs as they do with their own line.

Hey Chris,

Order as been placed. Can't wait! I put in for a 510 hoping they run similar to the specs on Mayhems blog: 5'10" X 19.5" X 2.38
Noted a preference for FCS fins (did notice they were FCS in the photo) but willing to be open to either or. Hope it trickles in soon. Can't wait to give it a test run before I get down to CR in July.

no bigger sizes for us plus sized surfers?

[robgnyc]

Have you guys released the dimensions these will come in? Would think you must have production rolling if they are going to start trickling in in the June/July timeframe.

I see a few more "antsy" people searching out DIMS and such on a few other blogs. You guys got anything you can feed us? Can't wait, mine is ordered and paid. My desktop pic:mini-driver-fst.jpg

Not sure if these are still correct but i found this on Mayhems Blog showing the stock dimensions and volume of the Mini Driver.

I have a little interest in this board as it looks and sounds like a higher performance Dominator. I have decided to do my own board compare in the sizes I like
That is a 6 ft Dominator -34.8 ltrs - 6'1" Minnie Driver - 34.8 ltrs & 6'4" Futura -35.4
and this is how they look - on the left we have the MD (blue) over laying the DOM (red)

as much as I love my Futura I'm always on the lookout for a shorter rail line without giving up volume if I can help it so the 6'1" MD could be the answer by the sounds of its marketing description.

qualitatively speaking, the Minnie "feels" like a better wave shortboard than the Dominator. It actually almost feels like a board that you would take out in pumping surf if you wanted to ride something a little smaller. My opinion is that its a go to in stomach to over head, with a preference for more steepness.

This surfers who dislike hybrids in small surf, may also rejoice because i think it can be groveled but its not quite as full ass a Dom/Spit.

Lump this one in with the high performance boards.

Cheers and hope this helps.
