What fins did you end up going with?
AP 5.59 on the toe and Futures R8 + Futures neutral quad rear (large) on the heel. Felt perfect from the very first wave.

I've ridden it 10-15 times from stomach high to head high + and I'm amazed at how HP this boar is. It's exactly how Matt (and I believe you in an older post) describe it: HPSB performance, but easier, faster and smoother.

@Goofy_Footed is it more 'grovel'-y than a normal HPSB?

Based on the waves that I’ve ridden it in, I would say yes. It’s definitely not a groveler, and there’s plenty of other boards that would do better in small surf, but I think if you put it head to head against a HPSB in less than ideal surf, the Disorder would come out on top. It has that twin/quad speed and flow but you can throw it around like a HP board and it holds.

I also think it depends on how you size it too. Mine’s 5’7 x 18.8 x 2.4 meant to be ridden in average to good FL beach break. If I ordered it as a step up or for bigger surf than I typically deal with, it probably wouldn’t go as well in the small stuff.

The way mine is sized, I would say stomach to head high (maybe a foot OH) is it’s sweet spot, but it can handle a little more and a little less depending on the power and shape of the wave.

@jkb probably has some insight too. He has a couple Disorders and has been riding them longer than me.

Yeah that’s what I thought too. Not saying anything is going on. Its just weird that Album + Parker instagram posts EVERY clip, 10 times a day, and haven’t seen Kerr on their feed in a long while. I know he’s put some stuff up on Albums.

He‘s the OG Album. The more of him the more I pay attention.

@Goofy_Footed nailed it.

It depends on how you size it. I have one that I use as a daily driver (Varial construction helps this one excel on the lower end). One in standard hpsb dims (PU). And one as a step up (PU). I've found it to be one of those rockers that works in a variety of conditions.

I’m sure you’ve mentioned it but can you remind what the difference in dims were for your daily driver vs hps?? thx
