    potatonator sizes??

    Im on the verge of ordering two new firewire boards but worried I might order the wrong size...Ive used the volume calculator so many times but then I read something completely different in relation to size on the forums...

    Im 6'3 and 93kg, Fit, Immediate surfer and managing to get in 2-3 times a week....when there's a wave (UK based!).

    Thinking of getting a 6'2 spitfire for 4ft + surf, and a 6'0 potatonator for 2-4ft. Would that work for me?

    Many THanks

    I'd look more into the 6'2" Hellfire or 6'3" HellRazor for 4ft+ and the 6'0" Potatonator sounds good for the smaller stuff.
    The Spitfire would overlap too much.

    Alex, if you are intermediate - use the force - just trust the volume calculator.
    I think when you become advanced you can afford to start messing with sizes outside those recommendations.
    As for the Spit and Potnat'r - I think prj is spot on!

    Agreed on that Spit and Nator would be too similar - guy your size 6'4 hellfire for headhigh and and the p'nator all under.
