    Is the MB carrying a bit more nose width than the Alt, or is that my imagination?

    Hey fritz, what dollar figures are you seeing? Surfboards are a tough product to get rich selling!

    Buzzy, the alternator has a little more nose actually and the wide point is more forward. The alternator also has less rocker than the Michel making it ride with a much more high performance feeling to it.

    Chris which of these would you recommend for Fiji type reef breaks, include hellfire in selection. Im a 44 year old intermediate, like volume around 37, 38 liters. Want to improve my in pocket surfing. Not great at present - too many years on a longboard. Board would compliment 6'2 spit.
