@@chrispaz5495 it all depends what you're riding right now What is your height and weight? How often do you surf what type of waves , beach break, reef, point? what is your go to board's dims and volume? Is that board s Poly or EPS? what is the brand and model? David
Want the Dominator2 or the S Boss. What's the difference underfoot between the 2 boards. Heard the S Boss surfs kinda similar as the Sweet Potato, only more high performance. Is this true?
Aloha Thanks for reaching out with your question about the Dominator2 and the S Boss. Let's break it down to help you decide which board might be the best fit for you. The S Boss is more like a shortboard replacement. It's a bit easier to ride compared to something like the FRK because it's shorter, has a wider tail and nose, and really rips. It's not what I'd call a groveler; instead, think of it as a "rip stick" with low rails and super responsiveness. It also has a bit lower rocker than the FRK, making it a bit more user-friendly. The Sweet Potato Comparison I wouldn't really compare the S Boss to the Sweet Potato. Sweet Potato was designed for a completely different purpose. The S Boss is more performance-oriented and not really in the same category. The Dominator2 is an awesome choice if you're an amateur or beginner looking for a great shortboard. It's also a killer groveler for more experienced surfers. It has a fuller rail and nose compared to the S Boss, and a wider squash tail, which makes it really friendly and amazing in softer, smaller waves. It can handle bigger waves too, but it truly shines in the smaller stuff. Rocker Comparison As for the rocker, the S Boss actually took its rocker from the Dominator2. Dan just tweaked it a bit by flipping the tips up more, giving it that extra edge. Hope this helps clear things up! Let us know if you have any more questions or need further assistance. - David
@@hawaiiansouthshore Thnx for he info David. I thought Dan Mann said in one of his interviews that people who already are surfing a sweet potato the s boss will be very familiar underfoot although it's for better waves indeed. So I was thinking get something with a familiar feel or go with something else like the dom. They do have the same wave range right?
@@leighrosendahl2734 Yep Dan Mann said familiar under the foot meaning they way it goes thru the wave and lay over on rail but the the SP and Dom will not surf the same at all. The Dom2 good for small to average days up to head high open face or much. If the wave become steeper and hollow it will start to feel a little stiff because it's harder to bury the rail. David
I just got off the phone with Dan Mann and actually there’s a V underneath the feet and then it goes into a double in the back totally different than normal board. I just did a zoom call with him, so hopefully will be able to post that soon.
@hawaiiansouthshore nice I was thinking of getting a sweet potato for the days I end up there due to convenience lol but I prefer a true short board design I can use at other spots that end up being a little bigger then expected
Can you guide me what size wud I get for this? I weigh 73kg and stand 510

@@hawaiiansouthshore Mahalo David!
My question is for the S Boss
So it’s a double concave all the way through from nose to the tail?
I just got off the phone with Dan Mann and actually there’s a V underneath the feet and then it goes into a double in the back totally different than normal board. I just did a zoom call with him, so hopefully will be able to post that soon.
What size dis guy riding? Weight?
@@Surf_Salt Macy is riding the 5'5" X 19 X 2 3/8 V26.19
Ho mace did you say "choice" cheee showing ur age rippah!!
When’s the volcanic version releasing
We were told by FW that it will be sometime Mid 2024 - David
Would this work at a beach like white plains?
Yes totally I think it would work their the board does not need a lot of push. The rocker is just like the dominator.
Ride it as a 2+1 - David
