no wind... so BORED?

Finally got to rock one of the so hyped FireWire boards last Saturday at OB. I rode the dominator 5'4" thruster squashtail, 10m strapless, 25 mph... so I had a sick session basically.
DA good:
Quad fin (Hell skatey and fun, quad virgin)
Clean surf (carved clean dropped in nice and quick, Fast floaty surf turns)
Size (small and fast but oddly floaty)
In small clean surf this would be the board of my choice, not OB per se
and that BaD:
Horrible in the slosh (way outside, just plain bouncy)
If it goes down in whitewater it rolls, fast, dangerous,wild and fun! Seriously I spent some time dodging that shit!
Long turns, maybe I needed more time to dial it, or its just OB... just never hit the bottom turns lime I'd like, kinda lit whomp!
Overall its a sick board and I'd have one in my quiver if I had three (surf) boards. I think I want the 5'10" hellfire first even w out trying it. I broke my old slingy board and now after trying one of these I'm hooked... I don't promote this shit (apparently they are pushing customer promotions like other brands). I also want to try the libtec boards.... anyways just sayin
