The Wooly sections add so much to and compliment your reviews. The bigger guy in different waves and your technical breakdown. Much easier to consider how a board will size up / size down having those two reference points. Awesome
Great review Noel really like the co-lab reviews to.i think it helps getting a better overall review. Hot off the press to only been out a matter of hours 🤙thanks as always
I feel like one day I'm going to watch one of your reviews and you'll say your stock dims are 4"0 , 12" x 1" . And your step up is 5"0 at 22 litres. Very few people on the planet can relate to surfing boards the size you do. 😂. Even Medina surfs more volume than you 😂. Fan of the show 👏 🙌 Every time I watch your vids I say out loud "grab your favourite drink" 😊. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Most pros ride more volume compared to me. They also ride longer boards… it’s a preference right. When I surfed on your back in the late 90’s I rode 6’0” x 18.5 x 2 1/4 thick… I’m not into longer board anymore and I like my boards ultra sensitive. Thanks for supporting our show!! Cheers
Hey, Have you surfed the Baron 2.0? Can you compare it, especially it looks like that it’s better in bigger waves however loses a bit on smaller days. By any chance could you also compare the baron to the hypto twin and where you would see the differences?
I have been a js fan since early 2000s got a fly boy model from back then that's still a killer board. Just got a carbotune xero gravity and it's insane. It's so good I bought another in hyfi 2 and it's killer as well. Jason has always made some of the best boards on the planet. Will there be a xero gravity review coming? Keep up the awesome reviews
Hey noel, how would you recommend standing on those kind of boards? I feel like placing the back foot all the way back on the grip makes the board lose a bit of control since there's not enough resistance from the small trailer, and placing the back foot just above the twin fins makes the board go better.
Thanks ! Do you think the outline of the 96 allows it to still work in the longer lengths ? I’d be considering a 6’ board at 38L ( I have mini ghost @33.6L and DHD phoenix at 36.5L) . Thanks !
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Well im 87kg and 57 years old . Struggle at point break a bit for volume when it’s crowded . So was thinking of going for a board around 37 + L range . My mini ghost is good on good surf overhead days for me . The Dhd is better volume for days I’m not fighting for waves but wanted a board with a bit more pulled in tail for hold ….
Twin Turbo is faster and maneuvers in the pocket more like a small wave performance board with a Twin Turbo+ Trailer set up. The BB2.1 will carve better in bigger waves as it seems to have a little more rocker.
The MF fins have that thruster feel in other 2x1 boards as well I have aboard that i ride with MRs most of the time and if I want that thruster feel I throw the MF fins in.
Not at this time. The CI Pro 2 and other HPSB’s like it have too much rocker. They need a real wave with some power to be in their element. Most HPSB’s the tour guys are surfing are not that user friendly and for them to go good you have to use your rails to get them going. Not sure the majority of our community will benefit from these types of boards compared to boards with less rocker that have get up n go speed.
Thanks for answering, that makes sense. If you had to pick one board for CI which would be the most all-round and which covers the most conditions, what would that be? I live in France in les Landes near Hossegor and we only have beach breaks with fairly fast waves.
Hey Noel, your recent reviews have helped so many people on buying. , I liked the last Q and your answers re, 2.1/Skate and RNF. Your reviews are certainly suited to youngish rippers,multiple turns. Q, I’m 60yrs surf ok, I have found I like around 42ltrs ( no laughing 😮) and around 6’4 length, basically surf 2-3 beach. Like bigger waves when on, What would be my one board quiver in 6’4 length. RNF 96/ G skate or JS 2.1 I’m just an old dog that wants to have a fun 6-10 wave session in an hour and a half surf in Sydney crowed surf. Thanks
Hey Guys, I am a 62kg surfer at 6 foot and i'm 16, I normally surf beach breaks and the occasional powerful point beak on the east coast of Australia, I am looking for fins that will give me some release as well as having some drive, I would also like to have some speed. I am not sure what fin to choose, can you please help me pick an FCS 2 tri fin set please.
Get the Kolohe andino fins. they hold enough for you to drive yourself through turns but when you come off the bottom the tip of the fin will always release in a predictable fashion. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Come on man if you are going to be a child and entertain yourself by trolling people you don't know on the internet at least say something that has a little bit of truth to it.
