    I think a bigger sub would paddle well. I'm riding mine the same size as my Spitfire and it paddles a little slower and needs a bit more quality in the wave to get going, but on a decent wave it's a little flyer!

    Hey guys

    I have had my Sub Scorcher 6'0" for about 6 months now and absolutely loving the board. However, sometimes I tend to get stuck midway through turns. Not sure if that has to do with the board itself or if it is due to the fins. I am using the FCS Nexus H-3 fins and I read somewhere that these fins have a tendency to make the board bog sometimes. I have tries it with the AM2 fins, but didn't like it.

    It is not a huge issue, but keen to know if anyone else has had similar experiences with the board or the fins?


    Cheers

    I am pretty much the same weight and enjoy the HS large. I think they have under 33 degrees. Most of the larger futures are 35-36. The Roberts also look like the are fairly upright. Both have the V2 foil.
