    Sounds like the way to go cuttlefish. Now I suppose the 606 is more my size than the 610. I feel better already.

    Maybe Dominator......

    Can you duckdive with the 6'6 or does the buoyancy get in the way?

    modified duck dive....that's always the sacrifice of increasing float.

    Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!

    It does get in the way but the amount of waves you get makes you forget everything else!!!

    Yeah 6'6. I am 95kg and would be happy to downsize my ADDvance from 7'2 to '6'10 looking for a bit more performance. I can duck dive my 7'2 but need to be careful of timing.

    Go for it. You will be stoked

    Yeah I'll make it work, not a big deal. Excited to get my 6'6! Thank you to Firewire for making this board. Addvance, not just for old guys... hehehe

    No not really, I'm going to check out boards on Friday. It's just I have so much faith in the ADDvance shape the I am having trouble getting away from it. I am going to PNG later this year and want to take 2 boards otherwise I would be staying with the 7'2 ADDvance. Very nearly bought a 6'5 El Fuego but I think I am too heavy for it.
