Yessssssssssir!!!!.Originally Posted by FW - Fan
Put the Solus again yesterday and after 2 waves went back to the Elevons!!!. Too wide of sa tail to have it as a thruster in my opinion. All this came up after trying both sets quite a few times under different conditions
165cms 89Kgs dry...working on that at the moment...but not working!!! :)

Rastas are also a good contender

What about Contollers. Anyone tried these?
Current Quiver - 610 Addvance
95 kgs and 46 yrs - before you can go surfing, you must first catch the wave !!
I haven't tried them yet but after running them in the baked for a couple of surfs then swapping the fronts out for AMTs with controller rears for a more progressive ride I'd be suprised if the more refined potatonator shape would be a good match with the retro feel of the controllers.
Probably why Buzzy was non-plussed with the ride he got on his dominator (of which the potatonator shares 70% of it's DNA) with the Indo controllers.
But I'm keen to try the AMT fronts with controller rears in the potatonator.
BTW spud has peeled off Southbound to a new home.
49 yrs, 6'1", 92kgs. Surfing many moons grasshopper and I like plenty of foam. Potatonator 6'4" FST- Stretch or DVS quad fins, CI twin + trailer fin.
Not yet on the Pnator but I'll put that on my list of things to do

Yeah ST, Buzzy gave me some Indo Fins Controllers copy and they went great in the PN. Mine is 5'8" and I would recommend giving them a go for sure. Only small issue was I did miss the middle fin of a thruster for that bit of hold when coming out of a turn but it wasn't a biggy and would be something I would get used to anyway. Personally I think the Controllers are a "Must Try" in this board.
