my neighbour has one - beautiful piece of machinery. Another mate got 3 boards off a distributer to try for a few weeks. They got a lot of use

I assume you had a go, how were they to surf?

Thanks Dazzler, I looked at a tj pro but think it was a older model, think it was thinner than the one on the website, liked the look of it, the dimensions are close to what I like.

How heavy are you?

The Potatonator. At 6'5 and 50 litres this is my new groveler.

Sorry for no BBQ


There is plenty of foam in this baby.


Bottom contour.



Very slight V in the nose.

Firewires from left to right;

Hellfire - 6'10 (48 litres) a fair amount of rocker and thinned out a bit. Goes well in nice waves and over chest high.

Potatonator - 6'6 (50 litres) a lot foam in this board and a fairly wide tail. This is my groverler.

El Fuego - 6'5 (44 litres) wide point forward and flat rocker. Surfs a bit like a single fin and very fast. A bit of an alrounder but is the smallest of my boards and I find needs nice waves.

The photos don't do the differences justice, if you see them in the flesh the differences are very noticeable.

Hellfire on top of the Potatonator


This one might show the differences a bit better
