Potatonator: small wave assasinator?

There was a first wipeout as well...

Hey Cuttles, You should definitely trade in the spud................for the next size up so that you can do a bit of tandem surfing with the young fella:)

Oops...editing and computer getting the better of me. Try again.
Here's my 3 & 1/2 year old taking the p'nator for a test paddle.
He reckons it paddles like a canoe.
Have to work on his stance to get him feeling "natural" and his back foot back on the tail pad.
Plenty of time for that.
The 6' sweet potato would be sup-able for him for sure.

Buddy the next Generation!!!!!!
Cuttle if you have the time would you mind to take a shot of the potatonator besides a comparable board you have just to see that tail?

Here's a shot of the 6'2" p'nator next to a McCoy (powerball) which is a micro nugget custom, that belongs to a friend.
It's 5'6" X 22" X 3".
And another shot with the 6' spud as well.

I just started reading this post and I think I may want a P'nator. Too many choices from the friends at FW. I am going to have a little cash and was thinking of adding an SP and one other board. How much cross over is there between the SP and the P'nator? Am I going to want to sell my Dominator? or the worst case scenario is that I by both a SP and a P'nator. I was thinking of a 6'0" Spitfire and an SP 5'6". Love all the options.

Cuttlefish,

Well finally got the PNator out in the water today in some nice South West 2-4ft surf.........little fat on the take off but no problems for the PNator..........this board rocks.

Loving the feel of it, pretty loose..........found it a little hard to turn on the odd bigger set as foot placement was a bit off every now and then.......still getting used to it.

When i got my feet in "The Spot" the thing just took off....i was surfing it with Simon Anderson SA4 Quad Set.....next surf i will try it with the Techflex AM2's Thruster....some swell coming Friday - Tuesday this week and there are a few spots that will come alive and be a great PNator wave.

I really prefer this board to my Sweet Potato.............The PNator with the 6'1 Hellrazor is a quiver killer for me.

Regards
Fazza

Very cool. I'm the same way quiver-wise.
It paddles into waves so well.
Even with feet placement a bit off it still gets the job done unlike a lot of boards.
Be interested to hear if you prefer it as a quad or a thruster?
Should be 3-4' again tomorrow. Potatonator territory!
I'm happy to say for my money the p'nator is the best all-rounder I've owned in years.
And I've owned an awful lot of boards of all shapes, sizes, constructions and fin configurations.
I was tempted to make a list but if my wife ever got a hold of it there'd be hell to pay! LOL!

I'll let you know how it goes with AM2's Futures.

I'm the same if my wife ever new how many boards i have gone through to get where i am now............she will want a lot of jewellery in return :) can only afford one of us to have an addiction.........
