I have a 12 year old Dominator in the original FST tech that I ride exclusively as a quad. It is my go to grovel small wave board. It still goes great. I am 5’10” 175 pounds. I ride the 5’8” which is around 30 liters. I will probably replace it with a Dominator 2.0 in helium. I ride mostly trestles and salt creek.
What is ur top five board. I’m looking for shortboard that’s gonna catch lots of waves. Small to overhead. Catches fatty waves. I currently use 5’10” retro fish. Luv it
Should i get dominator 2 or mashup, for surfing similar conditions as you? With occasional 5 feet. Which do you like more? In terms of ease, glide, turn and fun.
What do you think of Helium construction for feel and durability? I'm on the fence on a board built in Helium and Thunderbolt Red. Never ridden Helium. Red has a great feel but similarity durability to regular glass. Thoughts?
Helium is basically a cheap plastic shell wrapped around cheap foam. It does break when there are certain circumstances . I’ve seen Helium Seaside to break in half when it hit the pylon. It does have a nice resistance from dings but only rails and top. The bottom has a very thin layer of glass. It gets dinged up easily. It’s very responsive but I personally don’t like the feel. I still prefer to ride PU boards. It feels natural. Hope this helps!
Hey I’m looking at getting the dominator 2. I’m currently own the seaside 5’11 at 41 litres. My height is 182 cm and I was 97 kgs (213 lbs). Is the dominator 6’6 going to be too large for me? Or should I be going for the 6’4 size? Cheers

I would say Mashup.. It makes surfing more fun! D2 is more about performance and has less room for mistakes. Hope this helps!

@@SkipperSurfReview : Also love PU. The flex is what I can't live without. Ever try Thunderbolt Red?
@@Bimp_Lizkit yes, that one is pretty stiff. I don’t like it too much.
I’ve heard great things about the Dominator 2 from many mates, you surfed it well 👍
Yes, it's a great high performance board.

It depends on your skills. If you’re better than beginner and can pop up quick, also you definitely need to stay focus.
Do you still surf the CI mid twin? Such a great all around mid length
No, I don't. I thinned out my quiver this year. It is a great all around mid length.
Get Noel Salas quad setup you won’t regret it 🤙
Keep surfing it...
Probably quad would have been better/faster
Yep! For shitty conditions def needs a quad!!!
Доска явно не для этой кондиции, сложно дать ей оценку в таких условиях, да и размер ее, похоже, маловат ..
ну в таких условиях, любимая другая доска не дала бы много преимущества. Закрывашки одни были. Спасибо за просмотр!
Доска сама по себе хорошая, катался на ее деревянной версии на Мальдивах и был доволен как слон😊
Успехов!
Get back on that Daniel jones twin and dump the fireturd!
LOL. Yes, the twin pin is dope!
Says the guy who posts tomo😂😂😂
