The Dominator II is a revisited version that I am super excited about. The Dominator has been a staple in my quiver, and the Firewire line since its inception in 2008. The DM II is meant to be a clean update of the original with design features that allow it to work well in a wider range of conditions and enhance its performance. The obvious outline change is the tail going to a squash from the round tail. Also, the rails are slightly more refined and performance oriented. The concave is the same under the front foot but splits into a subtle, double-barrel and V out the tail in the last 5. I normally look for a round tail to provide smoothness in transition from rail to rail and during turns, but the squash tail is proving to not only have that quality as well, but also a bit more release in the turns. Fin Options The Dominator 2 comes stock as a 5 fin setup, giving you the option to ride as a quad, thruster, or even a 2+1. For most days, we think running the Dominator 2 as a quad will help it perform better in a wide variety of waves and conditions. The quad gives the board a bit more speed and flow especially in racy waves. If the waves start pushing and you find yourself out racing the pocket, toss in the thruster setup and the board will be feeling good. The thruster will also make the board feel a bit tighter on turns. If you really want to get funky and loosen things up, you could give it a go as a 2+1 setup with a set of upright (MR style) twins with a trailer.
