Noel, your explanations regarding fins are always top notch. Love how you went out of your way to make the thruster work. Thanks for that. There is so much to learn and to be reminded of on your channel. Much appreciated! You definitely looked best on the quad. The twin plus trailer looked a little soapy but I can imagine it feels super fun. Keep shredding!

[@markrichardson8382]

God damn Noel, some of those backhand bottom turns are tight, quick and precise running the quad setup. By far the best I've seen in ages of the boards you've had under your feet. Dan Mann can have my money for this latest creation of his. Great review again Noel.

I have the original Dominator, it took my surfing to the next level, wasn't ideal when waves were hollower, but that's now what it was designed for. I think the Dom 2 is next on my list, quad setup.

[@rallnaude642]

What an amazing little board! 🔥Thanks for pointing the 💎 out Noel! 🤙🏻🏄‍♂️

[@StokedForTravel]

Awesome review as always bro - I’m stoked to get my hands on one this week and see how it goes. Looks like a good step up from the puddle jumper HP with a bigger wave range and more performance. Good to hear it goes sick as a quad too! 🤙

[@dkilla01]

I put in the rasta quads and I just felt like it tightened up the tail too much for me, with the tail being pulled in and with the contour set up, it made sense for me to put in a thruster set up to compliment that tail set up, I put in the Craig Anderson Black Sticks and it went well

Love to hear a comparison of the Dominator 2.0 to a CI Rocket Wide. Florida surf mainly. 1-5ft, beach brake. I'm 5'8 180lbs struggling to find a new shortboard.

[@TheParentalRevolution]

Holy shit thank you! I just bought this board and you're right! I've experience a lot of tightness with my thruster setup. Now that I look closer I can see that my pad is a bit far forward.

[@Rafaelathia]

Hey Noel, thank you for your work with Aaron. I got this board based on the reviews, and now I finally understand the expression magic board. I'm a weekend warrior who has been surfing for 10+ years, including traveling around the globe. This is the best board I have ridden; everything works for my surfing style in several conditions. Also, I dialed my volume and dimmed it based on your episode about volumes. Thanks for your passion for the sport and for helping all of us around the globe with unique content. Really appreciate!

[@vznquest]

probably my next short board. been missing my Activator ever since it snapped in half and no longer in stock. thx for the review!

[@taigaw164]

dude I was just wishing you would do a review on this board earlier this week and look what we got here!?!?!?

[@FTWLiveMusicScene]

Nice ripping Noel ! I switch boards pretty frequently but you switch ALLOT & make it look easy

[@Sailnboard]

Review is spot...I just spent 5 days in a row surfing this from knee to waist to solid head high waves it it just performs so well. The board has this amazing pop and squirt, a new feeling Ive never experienced quite like it. Allows me to surf more aggressively n be more radical...I started focusing more on rear foot placement n it makes a big difference. It really excels in more solid waist to chest n has speed and float to make it they the flat sections.

[@SoloC852]

Since your surfing is very consistent, I think it will be super interesting to watch your fin comparison with a spilled screen. Sick video cheers

[@alejandrodemosteyrinmunoz5755]

Another awesome board review from Noel. It could be very interesting to compare the Dominator and Spitfire side by side.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Just got one last week. Surfed a few days ago 1-2 ft beach break with 30 mph offshore. It worked pretty good and was carrying speed until the end of the wave through flat sections. Cant' wait to see surf it on better days.

[@btownsmostwanted]

Excellent review. Covered everything!

[@tsunamiserfer]

have this board and was riding it as a thruster and quad in shoulder high and below and wasn't very happy with it. watched this review and pivoted to the Twin + Stabilizer and as Noel reported....that was next level. Faster than the quad setup with the stability for top/bottom surfing. Thanks for the R&D Noel!

[@thebensman9786]

The Noel Salas checker fins look 👀 INSANE! Must get some immediately (if not sooner)

[@PainFreeOutdoors_]

This board looks sick! Definitely my next one.
