    If you've felt the thick version and it feels right then that's the ticket. That says a lot more than any advice in my opinion.

    I think Potatonator, Sub, MB would be a good quiver!

    yeah i agree that would cover me in all conditions. i might pick up the 510 sub and use that to determine if i need the thin or thick because im expecting the waves i use the spartan to be in to be a bit more powerful

The thick will probably be better but just dont take the thin out of your mind yet.Some people on the forum got the thick then switch to thin after a few try.The extra foam of the thick one is mostly under chest/front foot so more for paddling so if you are a strong paddler you might get away with the thin. Just got with what feel right for you.I got people telling me both way and i went thin and i love it and i dont think thick would have been bad either.

    Okay I just ordered a 510 sub and will wait a bit to get the bourez. Lastly I'll go for a potatonator 508 to replace my fish. Sick... What futures should I grab? What are people ripping in different conditions?
