Potatonator or sweet potato

Sadly back from Northern NSW, why do holidays pass so quickly ?
We were a little unlucky with the swell and winds as we only got a few days with good offshores. However had a lot of fun on some peaky breaks near the river mouth / Suffolk Park.
Good head high wave faces and the Potatonator went well. The board has no trouble with steep late drops. Although many times I could not keep up with it. Tried AM-2 thruster set up which was not a favorite. Then swapped to AM-2 at the front and GXQ rear fins for a quad set up and the board took off. Also tried PC7 with the GXQ rears . They were fast but wanted to go straight ahead. Really enjoy having 5 fin boxes and the flexibility to muck around with fin setups.
Overall I prefer the board set up with quads rather than a thruster set up. Tempting to get some of the indo controllers to add to the mix.
My ability did not push the board , but I now would consider going a little shorter. Also now tempted to try a hellfire or spitfire as a bit of a step up.
Can't rate the Potatonator highly enough.

Good to hear you got some at the creek mouth....can get epic there in the right swell.
See if you can't get a hold of some AMT robber fins to try.
My potatonator has futures plugs and so I haven't tried the controllers in it yet but this will change tomorrow.

Have had this board for almost a year now and still enjoying it.
Still procrastinating over the next board, think the Hellfire is it but tempted with the Spitfire because the surf is often on the weak side at home beach.
reading through the many posts on this forum it is a recurring question that people put up.
Suspect a Hellfire of around the same volume as my 6' Potatonator is on the money.
