haha its so much fun Chris. even tho the wave is just decent (prob a 6 CA scale, an 8 for FL haha) its just you, your buddies, your fav music and no freaking paddling! def one of the best "surf trips" you can go on!

I would say get the Hellrazor. It will cover you for the most variety of conditions here, and also the feedback I have read about them is very good. I get mine at the end of the month and when I do I will be able to give you a first hand report of how it goes down here.
I had a 5'8 Hellfire and It was amazing, had to sell it for various reasons but the year that I had it for was a good year of surfing. That board did a lot for my surfing, took it up a couple levels and I am hoping now that the Hellrazor will take it up a few more!
But I would recommend the Hellrazor for sure, at a first glance basis I would say the HR will be a bit better when its not necessarily big but really hollow. Some times the beach breaks here, especially right now, get very dry on the inside bar. Right now out front the sand bar is way out there and it makes the waves break in literally like knee deep water on the inside. sometimes less. And when it gets like that, the refined outline of the HR will give it a leg up over the HF. Its not that the HF doesn't surf big waves good, it does handle big stuff impressively well but I feel like the width in the tail and more hybrid outline made the really dredgy low tide stuff a bit tricky sometimes.
Hope this helps a bit

Make sure you quiver up on different fins. Its makes all the difference, switching from Tri to Quad on different waves and sizes.
