Slater Designs "Sci-Fi"- Test Drive Episode #7 

3:37 , "the second you drop in" ... haha, I see what you did there!

love it that you surf it and review it in the same video! keep these reviews coming

Hey Guys Thanks a lot for coming up with these videos, really enjoyed watching and very helpful when choosing new boards. 2 quick Questions for you, intermediate surfer, I have been riding a 5,4 Evo in pretty much any condition (portuguese points in Lisbon, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka) for over a year and absolutely love it. - will the sci.fi be a good step up for slightly steeper/bigger waves vs. EVO? (I generally won't surf heavy waves but at times I felt limited by the 5,4) - not really sure between 5.9 and 5.10. I am 1,78cm by 72,5kg and the volume gap is quite big between the 2 Thanks for the help :)

Out of the Slater designs Sci-Fi, the dhd dx1pu and the dhd dx1 epoxicore what board do you think is the best? Cheers

once again man great advice thanks again looking forward to some more great videos.

That's about as good a praise as you could give. " going to become one of my favourite boards in my quiver" good job! 👍

Cool review - what dimensions was the test board you rode?

nice review thanks...two questions...how would you describe the rocker on this board? Also when you popup should your front/leading foot be planted approx in the middle of the board lengthways?So for example if your board is 190cm should your front foot be at 95cm on popup and riding?

Nice!

Do you think this would be a good step up board from a 5'6 spitfire, for when the waves have a bit more juice.I really like the feel of firewires but there arent many performance models in my volume range (28l) that aren't 5'10 and over. I'm only 5'9, 160lb so like yours, the 5'8 would like be perfect as I just don't like riding long boards. Cheers.

Hi there. When will you be doing a review on the Omni? I'm trying to decide between the sci-fi and the omni. Thanks man.

always enjoy your videos. keep them going. i ride a lost v3 rocket 6.0 great small to medium wave board. im looking at the sci fi or baby buggy. for better surf days. steeper waves. im not sure which board would be better. if i went with sci fi not sure length. my v3 is 34.4 l almost to high volume for me at 83 kg. any advice would be great

i usually ride 34 litres, but want to use this board like a step up for waves 3-7 foot. so going to buy the 6'1. what do you think?

Hi .. I saw your review for the Tomo Evo and you seemed super excited and said it was great for intermediate , average or beginner surfers . I’d be intermediate and am thinking of buying an Evo . I much prefer the look of this model but is it your belief that it will still help out an average surfer to Surf Better as much or nearly as much as the Evo ??

Hi mate, i am about to buy a sci fi 5'8 but im scared that the 27.7 litres of volume are going to be too much.. Im 16yo 6'0 for 150 pounds and my performance shortboard is 5'11 for 26.6l So as a groveller should i choose the sci fi in 5'8 or i should hit another size ? Thanks !!

Great review! I am have trouble figuring out whether to get a Sci-Fi or JS Blak Box II...I already have a Hypto Krypto and am looking for something different under my feet. Any suggestions??

Hey mate. I ride a 5'3 Evo and a 5'5 Omni. I like both. I'm around 160 pounds and surfing warm water waves all the time. I was thinking of getting a 5'7 Sci Fi but don't want to go to low the volume... What do you think? There is a few vids of me riding the other boards on my channel if you need to gauge my ability. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Mr. just wanna ask for a question，if I already have a hypto crypto，which board will be more resonable to buy at the moment？Scifi？Banana ？ or Dhd dx1？cheers！

Hi is the Scu-fi made in Asia like the hypto & lost carbon rap ? Thank you

Hi I could really use some sizing help with the sci Fi. I am 42 years old 155-160 pounds in great physical shape and have been surfing for 25+ years and usually ride boards around 26L. I am contemplating the 5'7'' or 5'8'' sci fi. I picked up a used 5'7'' from the local shop to demo and tried it in condition in wich Iusually wouldn't ride a shortboard but a fish. I floated me well and got into waves and felt pretty fast but I couldn't really get the feel for it or put it on rail and I have to decide asap between 5'7'' and 5'8''. I fear the 5'8'' will feel to bulky and bouyant (they don't have one in stock so that I could feel it). What are your thoughs ? any help and input would be appreceated/ Thanks a lot and keep up the great job I love your reviews David

You drive a chevy.... instant sub!

I'm coming off a 5.6 by 18 and 3/8 squash tail and I'm looking for a tail shape with alot of release and drive and can't decide between this and a square tail I'm surfing from about 2-6 foot waves on average

What size was this board? and can you give me an estimate of the guy surfing its height and weight are? Thank you

Hey, I'm 6'2, weight 80kg and am on intermediate surf level. Should I go for a 6'0 or 6'1?

Are you also going to do a video on the new firewire SKX and maybe compare it to the SCI FI to see which one is better???? And what are your thoughts on the new firewire SKX????

The big question: What are really the different between sci-fi and evo? And if you'd choose one, which will be?

cool...I've bought a 6.1 sci-fi but didn't use it yet. looking forward for a nice day though

Hey great video. I am looking Into getting a sci fi to. Can you help me as I am have trouble finding the right size in the sci fi for myself. I am 30 years old 167.4 pounds 5'9" hight, living in the UK what size do you think is good for me I was told a 5'7 might be to small and maybe a 5'10 what do you think?????

yo brah a quick comparative between V3 steal and sci-fi ? any comment will be appreciated cheers love the reviews
