    What would be a better choice for a tall (6'2" +), heavyweight rider (220+ pounds) in onshore, wind driven waves (small/medium and messy), and medium to strong winds (20+ mph): Hellfire or Quadra 5?

    Regards

    Hi BigZ,

    The Quadra 5 would probably be a better fit for you based on the conditions you described. It's going to have more float than the Hellfire for sure.

    Thanks for the interest!

    Thanks Brian,

    What about the upcoming 5'10 Hellfire? Would it work for a heavyweight rider in stronger winds and choppy onshore waves?

    Yes BigZ. That would work but we probably won't release until mid year.

    Thanks,
