Baked Potato in RapidFire only?

[cuttlefish]

Whose track record are we talking about here?
Let's get a last 12 months board shuffle comparo going between us.
But wait....not a good idea in case our wive's stumble across this thread.
Had a short surf on the baked (with Futures controllers) yesterday arvo at low tide, peaky, 2-3' Alex corner.
The baked paddled well in the flats and is super easy to catch waves on (it would want to be at the volume I'm riding it at).
I'd say even easier than the 5'10" sweet potato Rf I've surfed.
Got the "wet bar of soap" feel straight off the takeoff like a well sized spud too.
I was in a hurry but got a couple where I could do a bottom turn and up into a crumbley lip which the baked happily did.
as usual the waves were backing off as soon as they broke but the baked would skim across the dead water with ease.
Need to go back and have a relaxed surf this morning to dial in my feet placement and explore cutbacks on it.

Live reports from the beach to continue...if I can just get the water out of my monitor.

Just had another surf on the baked and used AMT robber fronts and controllers rears.
Waves were only 1-2' but nice clean little point peelers.
The AMT's in the front made the board a lot more responsive and so much easier to go vertical.
Brilliant combo which I doubt many will ever get to try because whose got a set of Futures Robbers and controllers lying around?

Hey Pete I'll upload a photo of my current fin set up after work. Not sure how well it goes as conditions didn't allow many opportunities last night. It's a lot of fin though. Felt fast on rail but not sure about turns yet.

That's the thing...what works for me at 90kgs and 6'1" can be too much fin for lighter, shorter surfers and that's one of the reasons I put my fin choices in with my stats in my signature.
That Robber (AMT) controller combo made a big difference in what I could do on the smaller waves I had today.
Yesterday I was thinking I wasn't sure how well the Baked would go in smaller waves but the Robbers in front with much less rake than the controllers but still with cant and plenty of area for me delivered the drive with a good loose feel.
It's a shame they only make both Robbers and controllers in one size that doesn't fit all.

I see baked potatoes in FST are advertised as coming soon at natural necessity good, to see the price between RF and FST is only around the $100 mark also, which is good as in US I noticed there isn't as big difference in price between tech as there is in OZ.

Tempted to order one but think you have to pay now and misus will kill me, but might be worth it.

You won't be disappointed.
A more hp spud ride is not to be missed.

Dont be so sure the Baked Potato is DEFINITELY coming out in FST. I was at FW headquarters last week back and forth for a couple of days and all they have been told is it MAY be next year but there are other models coming out as a priority. Its why I bought a White RF rather than wait...I would rather FST but there is no guarantee its coming out.
