Hellfire, Spitfire or Dom?

I've got a spare set of charcoal DLs that's all. I usually use the a medium size fin also but find the DLs work very well for me. Taj uses DLs also and he's lighter than me, AI used them too I believe, and Kolohe has been using them so I don't think you need to be a unit for these. If you'd rather try DMs I can try and add a set to the order if it's not too late. If you order a set from Herb he can request any colour you like. I think there's a small $3 up charge if they have to make a single set in a different colour rather than a whole batch.

They feel more secure because instead of being screwed in with sideways pressure like FCS, the screws go into a ridge in the fin and actually works as downward pressure and pulls them hard into the bottom of the board. You don't want to get too carried away screwing them in because you can put a lot of pressure on your fin plugs and I don't doubt they'd eventually pop out if you cranked them up with a rachet as hard as you can.

I think you'd like the Armour flex, particularly in a medium wave board like the Spitfire. I have a set of C4 Ceramics on the way to try in my Taj for good waves. They actually make C3, C4 and C5 Ceramics which increase in stiffness. Apparently some top pro's using the C5s at huge Teauhpoo last year actually found them too stiff even in those conditions, but other guys love them. Tyler and Mickey Wright have been loving the C3 Ceramics so I figured I'd try the C4 for now. I do love the Armour flex though, no complaints with them at all, more curious to try the stiffer ones than anything.

The DLs sound fine then, are they much bigger than PC5s? How much would you want for them? I tried to PM you but no option to do so, to discuss this more.

Here's the PC5 dims
Base: 4.37" 111.0mm
Depth: 4.55" 115.0mm
Area: 14.76"2 9525mm2
Sweep: 33.0°

And the DLs
Size:Height 116mm(4 9/16")
Base114mm(4 1/2")

So a 3mm longer on the base and 1mm taller than the PC5s. I don't have PC5s to take a comparison shot though. The closest comparison I've got is the K3 set, except the K3s stay a little more vertical up the trailing edge and then kick out suddenly into that raked tip, whereas the DLs are a more gradual curve up the trailing edge and have a slightly shorter tip than the K3s so a little more release.

I guess I'd be looking for £40 including postage? They are in excellent condition.

Just heard back from they guy I get them from. He's still waiting on some payments from others so he can still add to the order, so if there's anything more specific you'd like then we can put add it to his order and get it shipped across with my ceramics and I'll forward them on to you if you want to save postage across the Atlantic.
I'll PM you and we'll sort it out. I know there's a way on here somehow!

Hmm seems you can't receive PMs or have chosen not to in your settings.

Herb's email address is saltwaterplayground at yahoo dot com if you want to get in touch about getting a new set. Let him know whether you want to share postage with me or get them sent directly. He's a lighter guy and is using Ceramic DL fronts with a Ceramic DM rear in most conditions, but likes the Armours sometimes when the waves are weaker.

Alternatively if you'd rather just get that set from me let me know.

Think id just prefer to get the ones off you...how long is the wait if I did order with you? I have turned my email on for you to contact me. It was switched off before.

[prjwebb]

Could be around a month. I don't remember how long it took last time. Once the order is confirmed they've got to be made, then shipped Aus to USA then forwarded on to the UK. A bit of a run around but it's worth it.

[Will.]

Think ill just get those black ones off you then if your up for it..that would be sweet! Cant see your email on your profile..mine should be on my profile now. nice one!

[prjwebb]

I'll shoot you an email in a bit!

[Will.]

Nice one.

[prjwebb]

Yeah it wasn't. Got it, nice one!

PRJ, have always been FCS but have been demoing futures boards lately and liking the more solid, connected feel they seem to have. How do you think the Powerbase system compares with futures? Thanks in advance.
