Yeah, I expect so. It's brand new, have to wait two months for delivery new, so yeah, it should have the 5 fin boxes. I'll probably surf it as a thruster the vast majority of the time though - if it's soft enough I'm tempted to use a quad set up I'd probably be using the Dom for that.
I had the MRTX fins in there with a small trailer and it went really well. Before that I had a tough time on the board, as I think I should have gotten the next size up. Oh well, live and learn.

Yeah, I'm ordering this board a little bit blind. I know I can carry less foam than in my 6'4" Dom and 6'8" Alt @ 90kg provided the wave has a little push to it, but the question is "how much less?" The Hellfire definitely carries a bit more foam at the same length. Given it is noticeably wider at the same length (6'4" being my reference point) it carries a tad less foam, suggesting it's quite refined, relatively speaking anyway. I've felt up the 6'4" Hellfire and it felt about right volume wise...I'll just see...if I hate it I can always use it as a trade in on a 6'4" Hellfire. I'm reasonably confident I'll be fine though. I'd love it if I could get that thickness and width Futura in a 6'6" - it'd be almost ideal based on past boards and allowing for the fact I'm fatter and slower to my feet than I once was. But 6'4" should be fine.

You should be fine as that would be the perfect size board for me. I am going to go to Surfride and feel up a couple of boards tomorrow, should be fun.

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!
Found the Rapidfire lighter than the FST, The input-output on the board is almost direct whereas with the FST you get this sort of "cushion" before the "twang" back. I like to call this the "organic"feel"Originally Posted by hwork50
I personally like better the FST... but the looks of the Rapid is sooooooo sexy
