Surf a broadcast better than a liquid force primo

[wetfly112]

I wanted to post a question. How is it possible to have much better luck surfing a hyperlite broadcast (which is described as crazy slow) than it is a liquid force primo 4'9"? I have no issues whatsoever on the broadcast. Can surf rope less and stay in the pocket all day long. The minute I switch over to a primo that I bought, it's a total train wreck. Rarely can I go rope less. Usually nose dive it when I try add more from weight or pump to keep up.
I weigh 195 lbs. Surf behind a 15' mojo with autoflow, sumo max 1000s in lockers, stock hard tank and ibs. Flow set anywhere from 55 to 70%, depending on the day and crew..
Any help would be appreciated? Is it simply a case of I bought a board that is too small? Or something more? Thanks

I have ridden numerous liquid force boards and have disliked every one of them. Just last weekend I got to demo a liquid force machine that the guy at the dealership swore by and it was ridiculously slow. I feel that I am pretty proficient as I've even ridden 6 homemade boards that me and all my buddies made, and would rather ride ours than the liquid force boards I've tried. I was back on my phase5 after 2 quick pulls with the liquid force machine. Everyone on the boat agreed the lf was sub par

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not the best surfer in the world, but I'm decent. One of my other boards is a humanoid. No issues with it either. I bought the primo as more a true surf style. Feel Ike I wasted $.. Now nervous to even try something else

I am yet another supporter of you get what you pay for. It sucks, but most boards worth a damn are over 600 bucks. Not to say the more you spend the better the board, but I persoanlly think you gotta get near that range to score a board that you won't outgrow in a season or 2. Some advocate the custom shapes, other big brands, but there is a definite line in the sand with some boards and others and I think for good reason.

I know the struggle. Is there any sort of event where a guy could go and demo a bunch of boards? I'm still riding my old hyperlite coex, because every new board I buy is a total dissappointment.

That's my worry when thinking about upgrading. If I don't like it I'm out 600$ and I don't have any place near me to demo boards

Totally agree. U lose serious $ on boards when they don't work out
