Firewire has a good range of shred machines to hook you up. A lot will depend on the waves you're riding, but here are a few suggestions considering you're used to a 6'8. These will be a drop in total volume to get you something more maneuverable, but I'm staying close to 28 Liters. You could go up a little or down a little depending on your preference too. 5'6 Dominator or Spitfire (trust me, at 130 lbs you can do it) - good for smaller mushy waves, 5'8 or 5'10 Hellfire, 5'9 or 5'11 Hellrazor

Hellfire would definitely work. Since you're riding a shorter Dominator you could try out a thinner shortboard at a longer length. The 5'9 Hellrazor will bump you up a liter in volume and is a really versatile performance board. If you go with a Hellfire you may want to consider the 5'6. The 5'2 Dominator clocks in at 23.3 liters of volume, and the 5'4 Hellfire would be slightly smaller at 22.7. Not much of a drop, but if you need a bit more volume check the 5'6.

I'm 6'0 and a whopping 130 pounds (still growing). What would be a good size for me? This will be my second board, I've been borrowing a 6'8 wildfong board from my friend's dad. Thanks

im 14 5'5" and i have a 5'2" dominator and im looking for a longer more traditional shortboard, but i still want a versatile and floaty board. Would you recommend a 5'4" hellfire for me?

I'm 52 years old, been surfing for 37 years and 183lbs. I've been riding 9' longboards for past 24 years (along with some funshapes and old school fishes). After a great trip to Costa Rica riding a 7'3" 7S Superfish, I decided to buy a hybrid shortboard again and purchased a 7' Hellfire yesterday. I surfed Hurricane Lesli swell in central FL (3-6'). The board floated and paddled like a longboard..easy to catch waves, turned on rails, and was fast! Looking forward to surfing the board again!!

Sorry about that, got my B's mixed up!

FlexoNetwork - 11 years ago

Just a little correction for ya there CJ...you stated that the rails are Bamboo. On the Hellfire they're Balsa wood, ......not Bamboo

TheMonkini - 11 years ago

Correction: balsa wood rails (not bamboo). Good review of the board. Thanks bro

@dainenduffin1 personally, I like the Spitfire. In my waves it works a little better most of the time. That's down in South Florida though, and are waves are mushy and small. If you have more powerful, better formed waves, then the Hellfire will most likely be the better call.

@dainenduffin1 The 5'10 would be in the acceptable range. I'm pretty close to that height and weight but I prefer a 6'0. I'm riding in some pretty small surf though (South Florida) so I like the extra flotation to get into waves. If you're in a better spot (which is pretty much anywhere) then the 5'10 should be fine.

BC Surf And Sport - 12 years ago

@dainenduffin1 depends on your waves mostly. For mushier, less powerful waves go with the spitfire. If it's a bit cleaner and lined up, check out the Hellfire.

@StittsvilleCruisers Oh no! looks like you got cut off. Let me know and I'll help you out.
