    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 man! Did you get your hellfire yet? I'm the same weight as you and I ride the 6'3 flexfire, which i think has the same volume as your 6'2 flexfire (28l).. I'm allso down for a hellfire, just not sure if I want the 5'10 or 6'0.

    I want my hellfire to give me lots of speed on waves that are not big/powerfull enough for my flexfire. Like a grovler, but with the potential of allso riding better waves. I'm afraid that if I choose the 5'10 it wan't be performing to my expectations in the smaller stuff (not enough volume). But I'm allso afraid that if I chose the 6'0 it will feel very different from my flexfire (to much volume), thus making the transtition between boards feel weird and my flexfire feel to small when I take it out in better surf.

    So I guess my question to you is: what made you chose the 6'0? It seems you are happy with your 5'8 spitfire, right?

    Allso, for comparison. How does it feel to go from your flexfire 6'2 to your dominator 5'10 and vice versa? 28l to 33l..

      Hey there!!!. I feel muh mire Comfortable on the "around" 30lts volume range, so I try to stay close to it whenever I choose a new board.
      Between the 5'8"spit and the 5'10" dom I really like the first one. The spitfire will take your dominator sjills a step further. Every board in the quiver has its own magic.
      Still waiting for my hell...fire which is supposed to arrive this month.
      So to answer the question what made me go for the 6'0"was the volume chart, besides from 5'8"to 6'0"there isnot much difference.
      Can't wait for that one to come and for time to use it!!! Stuck at work doing some 13hrs shifts... I guess boards don't pay themselves jejeje

      Yeah I'll probably go 6'0 myselfe. Got a chance to try a 5'10 spit and it didn't feel like too much board at all. Could probably have ridden it as a 5'8 but don't see what advantages I would get from that. I don't rip anyway so might as well go slightly bigger than most for ease of use. But have you gotten your board yet? And if so, what do you think??
