I've got the Nubstep, which I think is the smaller version of the Big Step. It's a quad, but I took out the back two fins, and I love it. You almost have to try to fall out of the pocket. It's got so much drive.Quote:

The only Doomswell that I have ridden is the Drone 4'4" squashtail. I've talked to Blake and he said that the 4'6 would be awesome for me. The thing is that I haven't ridden any of their other boards. I'm 5'10" and 169 pounds.
Has anyone ridden both the drone and the nubstep? how do they compare?
I haven't ridden the Drone, but I asked Brock about both of them. He said the basic difference is the tail.. The Drone's squash tail is great for airs, but not so much for spinning. The Nubstep is a little more of an all around board that you can carve/air out, but potentially do some spins on, so that's why I went that way. I've heard the Drone is great though.
Ive got the phase 5 danielo diamond 54" and love it. Im 215lbs and its super fast.Quote:

I picked up a SC this spring after surffest and can't put it down. One thing to keep in mind with the new board is fins are going to make all the diff in the world. The board comes with futures fin boxes. Spend some time on the futures website learning about the different fins.Quote:

Without the opportunity to ride either manufacturer makes things a bit tough but from what ive read i'm hard pressed to thinking that either will disappoint.
I've ridden a custom soulcraft da honu and also a doomswell 4'4" drone squashtail. I LOVE both of them, but I give the slight edge to the Doomswell. I just clicked with it more and it was fun to slide out the ass on the Doomswell.Quote:

Check out the podium shots from the World Championship. Might help you with your decision.Quote:

Again, a fantastic board and since I didn't have anything of that caliber, when I'd go out with my friend that had it I wouldn't even bother bringing any of my Ronix boards.Quote:

Mine shows up on Thursday! I am super stoked.
