Thread: Potatonator or Spitfire or SP for summer surf!

  1. #1

    Potatonator or Spitfire or SP for summer surf!

    So I am either going to buy a 5'10 Potatonator or 6'0" Spitfire. Will be camping up and down the Pacific Coast this summer and wanted a board
    that will catch small waves and just have some fun on.

    The Potatonator will be NEW and the Spitfire will be USED! About 2-300 in price difference.

    What do you guys think?

    You could even throw a SP in the mix as I will have a longboard but need something for smallish waves that is fun not so longboard SLOW.

    Would love to get all three, but that wont happen.

    42 years young / 6'3" 180 lbs

    Stuff I owned and sold: 5'6" Sweet Potato (FCS) (Sold) / 6'0" DOM (FCS) (Sold) / 6'2" DOM (FCS) (Sold) /

    Ok, I don't know if I could sell the DOM. That would be tough, but will definitely go touch and hold a Potatonator. You guys think a 5'10' would do it?

    Yeah 5'10 PN or 5'6" SP I reckon based on what you're riding now, but you could potentially drop a size on each.

    Iggy keep in mind the potato nator is 70% dominator. I am not sure I would want a 506 on the east coast....i think i would likely ride a 508.
