    i felt exactly the same way when i first got the SP. had the stretch quads in it at first and it felt slow and slid too much, I was initially disappointed. got the controllers shortly thereafter and found myself riding the SP almost exclusively in anything under chest high. the controllers feel like they were made for this board. not sure what it is about them, but the controllers give you a familiar and reliable thruster type feeling.

    I have the controllers in futures and they have worked well from the start. The board is very explosive out of the gate and still very loose. My pnator takes over in stomach+ but the controllers really add another gear in small weak waves.

    I am also loving indo controllers on my SP.

    Has any one else noticed a humming sound when speeding straight through a more hollow section? does that mean its dragging? My MRTFX did this too, but when going a bit slower. I never noticed this with my PC7s, indo controllers are my fav anyway.

    They just come in the one size so far as I know. I do own a set and there was just the one size available. I'm not a fan so far but I don't think a Dom is the right board for that fin.

    If you have controllers in your spud and find the tail too loose in larger waves, put a set of rakier rear fins in.
    Awesome.
