board looks super fun. outline looks very similar to the old lost bottom feeder ( I can't tell anything about the bottom contours based on pic). Is it similar or different?

It's Bottom Feeder like. A little more fishy feeling maybe a little more nose rocker.

Bottom Feeder had kind of a unique bottom with some belly in the nose:
"The belly continues through the center but features a double concave sitting inside it. Which creates a tri-plane hull featuring a soft chine in the rail." -Lost Website.

I preferred the BF to the Fling as a groveler, but the BF I had was sized a little better for me. Fling is very fun too, can handle a bigger and steeper wave than the BF for sure. Had a Fling out in a perfect mexican right point about waist to chest high and it was super fun.

Congrats Havoc! i'm sure you'll be clicking off moves like this in no time.
Is this the OG shape? looks like it. What is the volume 32ish?

I love the Fling, got's a 5'4 OG in Superflex. ( 165lbs x 5'10 x totally washed up)

Had a 5'5 with the swallow tail. Would like to try a 5'4 with the rounded square or the hippie squash tail and back off the thickness a touch if I were to try another.

Havoc I'm surprised you didn't go trusty only bro. I'm gonna throw my Fling in the truck and give her a go soon in your honor. Those guys at Super are good to deal with.

Can anyone answer if they still use S-glass as stock? Asked them via IG, email, etc, but noone's gotten back to me. Saw in an old Real review they did S as stock, but wanted to confirm...

The Fling is my all-time favorite shape for between the groveler and the HP shortboard range.. So fast and easy to surf! I know people disagree quite a bit about their favorite fin setup, but my magic formula is as a quad plus trailer - JC1 fronts, Rainbow 3.75 quad rears and that little Futures nubster fin from 2011(?)
Stoked for you!

Took me a couple sessions but liking thruster over quad lately. Looks like they changed the quad placement on the newer ones?
