Thread: El Fuego!

  1. #1

    El Fuego!

    Just bought an El Fuego tonight, could not pass it up as it was a sweet deal.

    Hopefully, it won't cross over too much with what I already have.

    Can't wait to get it wet!

    Sweet! Will grovell as well as the Dom & b a little more lively than the Dom when the waves are nice cause of the pulled in fishy tail! That thing loves to fly down the line! You will enjoy!

    Sweet! I love to fly down the line as well. Will it handle bigger stuff? 3-5? Maybe I should leave that for the Hellfire. Not sure where and how it fits in the quiver. All I know is that I have always wanted to try one, now I got one!

    I surfed mine in chest high wind swell the other day and it was super fast and REALLY lively, its so good on the tail and goes great as a thruster! Super responsive board!

    It will handle 3-5' but to me thats prime Hellfire territory, I found the elf a little harder to duck dive in bigger surf because of the wider nose section.

    Took the Fuego out in wind chop 2 ft junk, got a few but nothing to compare anything too. Put the SF4 fins in, will try and then will try the k2.1 set up. Should be fun!

    Goanna,

    How's the PNator go compared to the Fuego? Looking at a 5'8 and i've got a 5'11 Fuego at the moment, just want something to cover a bigger range like 1ft plus up to head high.

    I was surfing one foot slop last night, had to get it in the water. It floats better than the DOM and has little or no rocker. Can't wait for some better waves to surf this baby!

    Goanna, are you happy with your quiver being that you sold your DOM, El FUEGO, and SP?

    Those seem to be my go to boards unless it is big then I will surf the HF.
