Aight, it's all I needed to hear, I will keep trying. Regarding the ear surgery, just make sure you pick a doctor that has experience with the chisel method. Almost no pain and recovery time is about a 3rd the length. I went to UCI and used a doctor name djillian. I think the best guy though is up in Santa Cruz.

Did you notice any downside with the extra volume for you?

No I didn't notice anything in particular. The volume is probably only 1 L more than I would want for that type of board. I like the length although I think a 5-4 would feel more scatty especially with that wide tail. I don't think I'll get another opportunity but if I ever get the chance I definitely want to test a 5'4 just to compare.

straight airs are much easier to me, but in when I do those don't punt it. I tend to just lay up and get like 1' off the top.

I like the HK best as a 2+1 so definitely yes.

I like the HK best as a 2+1, maybe cuz of the tail, it comes off like a twin pin but definitely need a stabilizer. I think the MR's with trailer would go great.

mathematically, that is exact volume to weight ratio. 32.4/180 almost equals 38/210.

@@ThomyeSurfs True, I wanna loose some fat though haha, that belly of mine is not helping popping up fast. I'm thinking 20lbs less and the 5'6" will still be fun, even though I could probably go 5'4" at that point.

@@fredriksalmen5159 make it happen brotha. i would definitely be 30 pound heavier if it weren't for surfing every weekend. During the week, I just do pushups and only heat 2 meals a day, lunch and dinner. I don't seem to miss breakfast much, I'm usually super busy in the mornings. I used to weigh 175, happy thom was my nickname. LOL gave up coke, starbucks, and breakfast.

@ThomyeSurfs Thanks man! I'll do my best! Btw, looks like you got some sweet turns with this board in the video, doesn't look like you struggle even though you say it was a bit hard, I guess it's all relative.

@@fredriksalmen5159 Thanks, appreciate that. i think it's just expectations vs reality sort of thing. I wanted it to be like my old 5'1 Baked Potato. It definitely groveled better than my old BP but it didn't surf the same. It surfed well but not the same.

looks like a decent board, definitely my type of board, but unless they let me borrow it or gave it to me, I just don't have the money to review it. Also, not enough surf :( It's been so sad lately. I am however, going to review some budget soon, Aloha and Element. They look like Modern boards and priced about the same.

I think at those lengths, the 6'4 Sunday would be way more versatile. The SP would grovel better in the small stuff for sure but I think the Sunday would be more fun, small and bigger waves. You also have the skill to go rail to rail so definitely Sunday. Lastly, I don't know about the SP as a twin. I didn't get to test it. It is super wide so might come off like a mini simmons.

@@ThomyeSurfs awesome, taking a screenshot of this. Yeah been tryna find a 6’4 Sunday to try before I buy and haven’t seen that size in demo or even new anywhere yet besides online. Gonna keep searching - still haven’t tried SP and copy on the twin, yea I wonder too and would like to try that as well. Again you were riding the Sunday like you’re on the CT lookin to impress the judges - look forward to your next video. I have a ‘tripod’ video coming out today or tomorow (I know snooze fest) but low key stoked Manfrotto sent and asked me to review 👀

@@TravisVarga that' awesome, i was looking at a new tripod too. I'll check it out.

Thanks, appreciate it. I'm definitely open to reviewing the CI Mid, but waiting for a 6'8 or 6'6 to become available. No rush at this point though, it will happen when it happens. :) I did get to test the 6'10 and it felt great. definitely a mid drawing parts of a longboard, a classic nose rider type longboard. Great for long drawn out turns and trimming.

@@ThomyeSurfs Haven’t got to try the board but it sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! Already have a wild 6’8 Maurice Cole Red Dingo as my midlength and would love to add something flatter, more laidback and cruisy for nose riding without the compromise of a single fin or fuller rounder rails. Appreciate the insight!

I'm not entirely sure about the music. I got it from my editing tool as part of their free stock music. The title is "Intense Guitar Drama". BTW, I wasn't entirely sure what you were asking. Sorry

most of it was Bolsa, some in HB, but only a few.

I think the SciFi is more all around but if you don't want too much overlap, then GWT. I would say the SciFi and Mashup overlap around 30 to 50 percent depending on how big your ride both. the GWT is more like 10 to 30.

at your height, I would say the 6'2 to be safe but if your paddling and positioning skill are good, then you could go 6'1. Having said that, all the features of this board screams performance, like the OG FRK and FRK+. If your other boards are over 20" wide, then go with the 6'2 to get more width. if you other boards are under 20, then either or. At least you will be used to a narrower board. Hope that makes sense.

@@ThomyeSurfs thanks for getting back to me. My boards are usually 19 3/4 to a touch over 20 wide. It would be nice if they made a 6'3. Thinking my choices are 6'2 or 6'4 but, the 6'4 is 38litre which might feel to floaty. I don't mind riding a slightly longer board & I agree with you about wide point sitting behind centre in regards to footing. I've got some thinking to do 🤔

@@sdigsy4414 6'2 should be good. it is also ibolic which will float better than a normal PU.

Just a Soloshot 3+. It is hit or miss. Most of the time it works great

right on. Good luck and on your first go, make sure to go quad or quad front fins only. If you go thruster, maybe take the rear fins out or use a stabilizer fin instead. You want to start by sliding teh 360 so having less drag at the very rear is key.

@@ThomyeSurfsthanks mate! Haven’t been in the water yet but will let you know how I get on! I only ever ride twins so I should be fine okay on those I’m guessing?! 🤙🏻

It is the 8 fin box by FCS. They also make a 4 fin version

Definitely want to. I actually want to put it up against my Sharpeye FT which is my current favorite performance board. I'm wondering if the FRK swallow is similar. FRK swallow at the same length, 5'8, is 2 liters more. As for comparing it to the FRK and FRK Plus, I already know I'll like it better because I just prefer swallows at the moment

that sounds fun. i thought I saw something like this on either instagram or youtube. It was cool cuz initially I thought Wavestorm had come out with some sort of mini simmons. haha

@@ThomyeSurfs I saw that, too...but they just sawed off the tail and randomly stuck two fins on the back (looked like crap). You have to use the cut off piece as a template, and you'll end up with something similar to the Catch Surf 6 ft log (awesome board).

thank you so much. really appreciate it. :)

depends on how much overhead. head high is fin and if you have the skill, Like Rob, then you could easily surf well overhead. I think I saw Rob surfing it in 3+ overhead.

LOL, yeah, it's funny cuz just south of us, about 100 yrds it was 2x as big but they were all rights. haha I should probably start going right.
