    Hi, mate. I'm an Aussie living in Cork, South Ireland. I'm looking for a 2nd hand Dominator or Spitfire probably 5'8 or 5'10. If you're thinking of downsizing and selling your current Dominator let me know. I might be interested. Or if you here of anyone selling a 2nd hand one I'd really appreciate if you let me know. Cheers,
    Marty

    Hey Iggy - I see you have a 5-10 Dom and a 5-8 Spit, Ive gone from a 6'2 to a 6'0 dom and its still too much foam - I was thinking of the spitfire as the next board but Im undecided between the 5'08 and the 5'10, Im 83kg but trying to get down to 80kg. Have you any comments or advise for me please?

    Hey Justo - How did the 606 DD go? I surf a 600 Dom, and just ordered 604 Flexfire? Did it feel weird going from the short stable friendly spit to the long thin DD?

    HI Jam, did you get anywhere with Firewire - giving you a new board?

    Ive had the 6'2 for a month and a half and it was a shock at first how loose it was (thruster setup) - Ive really gotten use to the smaller size really quickly, I never thought I would surf a board smaller than 6'6 ever again. Looking at a 6'0 spitfire someone local is selling (bought too small) which i think is the way to go, I dont surf much bigger than double head height so the dom or spit should do the job well. Would love to think in 12 monhts that I could approach a 5'10 in either, I'm 90kg but working hard trying to cut down....

    Ireland,
    I rode the 6'2 Dom for a good year (including a great trip to Costa Rica). Then I traded it towards a 6' Dom and rode it for a year. I just traded it in towards a 5'6 sweet potato and gave surfed it twice. Still getting used to it. I plan on buying a 5'10 Dom or spitfire. The volume difference between the 6' Dom and 5'10 Dom is only about 1.5 L. All the other size dom look to be about 3L difference. How about you? What are you thinking about doing?

      Ended up buying a 600 dom - some guy used it twice and was too small for them - Im looking forward to getting it in water, how did you find going from the 602 to the 600? Did it perform better in better conditions? I also went for FST just to see how it compared ride wise and see if its stronger & longer lasting.
