    Downsizing

    Hi everybody. I have been surfing a 6'6 Addvance for a while now and love it. I came down from a mini mal to that board but am now looking for a more performance centric board I can duck dive and ride when conditions get bigger. I thought a hellfire could be an option but am not sure. I would really like a standerd go to shortboard.
    Thanks

    IMO, you may want to go to a Hellfire for the perfomance side of the hybred.

    Yeah I agree with the sentiments posted already. If a shortboard is what you are after then the Alternator is a great option.

    I do agree though that the Hellfire and Dominator offer worthwhile advantages over the addvance so you might consider them as well...
