+Fernando Nagy Something else, I'm looking for an all rounder for everyday surfing from 2˜6ft surfing. Already have in my quiver a Dumpster Diver (feel bulky sometimes and a JS Kombat that I love it but need to be retired) Intermediate Level / 1,67m / 66kg or 145 pounds / 25 to 26 liters

Darrell W Perfect glad you liked it. Great board.

what's your height n weight?

Hi Kerry Larkin . I think you have chosen the right dims so don't worry. The main difference between your 6'2 and the 5'11 is going to be a bit more about how you surf it rather than whether the board is clunky. Because there is a larger tail and a flatter rocker you are going to want to stand back a little bit more on the board and get the foot working that kick in the grip to really feel like that board stays nice and flowy. I have had a lot of feedback from comp surfers that the Sub Driver is a good small wave board for them rather than something that is too short like a Hypto Krypto or V3 Rocket. The Sub Driver is still drivey and reliable in the critical stuff. Experiment a bit with getting back further on the board and it will really rip. You won't have to drive your Sub Driver as hard as a 6'2 comp board as the board is going to do more work for you. Enjoy and let me know what you think. There is some more info on that stick here too www.beachinsurf.com.au/lostsurfboards-subdriver

Awesome to hear Abe. The Slab is easily one of the best boards in market at the moment if you want 1 board to surf a large range of conditions. Most surfers want to surf just 1 board and then have a decent step up board for when it is over 6ft. The Slab is going to handle everything else. Stoked you like it.

WCT fins although very popular and a highly recommended fin set for this board are just not for everybody. The tail fin has a reduced size and the fins are quite upright which is great for down the line surfing but they will suffer on a drawn out bottom turn especially if you are well floated. We have a Futures demo fin tree in store so I would recommend finding somewhere close enough to you so that you can try different fins. Start off trying the Medium size Jordy Smith fins. These fins have a longer rake and are much better for top to bottom surfing. Also keep in mind with a board like the Neil due to the larger sized tail with less rocker you can really afford to step back a bit more on the tail and work it a bit harder. Hope this helps.

Hi Jason. Most definitely this board but let me explain why. Typically learners just surf down the line and then average surfers start to add in an occasional floater or 1 top turn per wave. The idea of choosing the next board should focus on maintaining stability so you can start to be confident surfing tighter in the pocket and surfing more top to bottom. The Slab is good because it isn't a completely flat rocker which will help later drops and will allow you to stay confident on the front foot (entry rocker). I would avoid boards that are 4-6 inches shorter like the Rocket because although their a lot of fun and solid surfers throw them around a surfer that isn't already surfing strongly top to bottom generally will suffer because you'll lose a lot of stability and find that you're missing a few waves for it. Slab is a great choice but if you had your eyes on LOST check out the Sub Driver review. That is the competitive board between the two shapers and both those boards are tried and tested.

BeachinSurfTV Thanks, i think i will check it out, let you know how it goes.

Hi Tim. Can you let me know how much you weigh and what fin system you prefer ie; FCS or Futures? I'll be able to point you in the right direction with some fins I've tried out and got feedback on from the crew at +Futures and +FCS FINS 

I want some fcs fins..my board is 6'4 and I weigh 140 ..thanx for your help! I just don't wanna get the wrong fins ..

Ok assuming you have FCS original plugs not their new FCSII I would really recommend the V2 PC Tri Set. These are modeled off the original Kelly Slater fins and they are the most popular I've found for that kind of board in 1-4ft of surf. You'll find these fins have plenty of speed but are quite upright which will make turning off the top on small stuff a bit easier. Good for tighter turning which is what you've got on a step down board like the Rusty Neil in smaller surf. If you have 5 plugs and can run a Quad setup then consider buying the Tri Quad set. This is a great board to run a quad setup. Here's a link to read more www.surffcs.com.au/shop/surf-quads/k2-1-tri-quad-set. If you have the FCSII plugs then look at the Reactor which is also very similar to the V2.

Yes the original plugs are fcs ..and I was looking at the v2s before..just wasn't sure if I should get those or not..but thank you so much ..that really helps a lot !! One more question if you have the time..what's the diference if I put all 5 fins? Then having only 3 on it ..thanx !

Tim Javier You only want to have either 4 or 3 fins in the board at any 1 time. I recommend trying out the thruster to start with but some surfers prefer quads. As a rule quads will give you more speed which is an advantage in most conditions unless your trying to draw out your turns.

Hi Olly. I'll be reviewing that board in January I'm hoping. I'm currently travelling through Central America "board testing" or so I tell the boss so hopefully Jan will see us back in the studio looking at what's new from DHD. Cheers for the suggestions.

Thanks Drew. I haven't ridden or taken a closer look at the Flash yet so honestly I can't say but after looking at what the Pyzel team have to say online I would be looking at sticking to the Slab for an easier surf in under 4ft conditions. If you want something that is a bit more performance focused though without having to go to a step up the Flash sounds like it would work well in the quiver. The main feature that I noticed is the tail rocker in the Flash which is going to help in better surf.

Hi I Mac My recommendation if you are going to be heading out in surf that is going to test paddle power and test the ability a bit is to add a litre and get a 6' 5 x 18 3/4 x 2 7/16 29.9L. The benefit of adding a bit more foam is you're going to be more competitive when the crowds get a bit heavier at places like Uluwatu. I did this recently and added some more foam and found that I was much more competitve and getting a lot more waves than I normally would in conditions that I don't get to surf often ie; 8ft. If you are going to be charging surf that is over 10ft and you want more of a "big wave" board then I would consider forgetting about litreage and start thinking about something that is more along the lines of 7'0 x 18 3/4 x 2 1/2. The Hawaiians are good examples where they aren't afraid to chuck some extra foam under the foot to handle bigger and better surf. I believe the 6'5 will go best for you. If you think that is too much foam you can look at narrowing the board a tad to 18 1/2 but keep the thickness. Feel free to also give the guys at Beachin Surf a call on 02 43 965159 to chat about boards as they have a few in at the moment. Peter the owner has a background surfing Pipe, Ulus and some other good big wave locations and he's pretty good to talk to about that stuff. Hope that helps I MAC and feel free to shout out with any questions. Yew!

BeachinSurfTV Awesome, thx for the reply !

Thanks Spr1ngChicken. I'll have a chat to the Pyzel crew and hope to do some more of their boards in the near future.

Hi Blank. BeachinSurfTV has been created as an extension of a surf store on the Central Coast in NSW Australia. We review product we stock and sell. This does two things for a surf store. It allows us to let people know they can reach out to find out more about the products we are reviewing and it also allows them to know where they can buy the product. Shred Show is a great RUclips channel and no we haven't knocked them off. Hopefully you find the videos are different in the sense they are more relatable to Australian conditions and that there are more Australian products to come that the Shred Show would not do. Yes we review surf product though as do many RUclips channels available on Vimeo, RUclips and other online user generated content websites. Thanks for reaching out Blank.

Hi Cameron 6'1 is a size that would work but volume/size is different for everybody based on weight, skill level and personal preference. I know a guy that is ripping on his 6'1 and he is 6'3 tall and sitting at about 80kg. The 6'1 Buckshot is 27litres for reference. My recommendation is to either demo this board in that size in store at Beachin Surf or check out a few of the models you have in your quiver at the moment and research how many litres your riding to get a better judgement of what size you should go for. I ended up buying a Rusty "Yes Thanks" which was around 33.5 litres and 6'6. I was set on the Buckshot but I ended up going for the Yes Thanks purely because it was the newer model that has just come out from Rusty and it is similar to the Buckshot ie; both comp models. Give the Beachin crew a call if you want a demo of a 6'1 Rusty Buckshot or flick any questions you have here and I'll get back to you. Cheers, Clint From Beachin clintfrombeachin.tumblr.com/

BeachinSurfTV I see, yea I think it will be fine but just thought if you were going to ride a 6'1 and your 90kg I might need to go a bit smaller. I was on a 6'2 x 18 3/8 x 2 1/4, very performance board loved it until I snapped it, was one of Jay Quinns old boards not exactly built to last years. I dont want a short fat board again, I was on a 5'11 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/4. Just after an allrounder to replace my 6'2

That's exactly where I've gone with my boards too. I'm bit tired of shorter fatter boards and like something with a bit more rocker. This board will deliver on that and it sounds perfect for you. You will notice the tail lift and speed off the top with this board. My board that I'm riding isn't super different and I'm loving a full rocker that performance boards have. I've had good feedback on this board so I can recommend it. Let me know how you go and shout out if you want a demo. We've got a 6'1 on the floor at our Toukley store on the Central Coast.

BeachinSurfTV Thanks heaps for your help! A very well done review.

Cameron Sandwell thanks Cameron

Hi Bruno. Sorry though I got back to your comment. I have ridden this board in 1-2ft days and it does work if there is a wall to work off. If you have a mushy 4-6ft day then this board is great for that too because of the tail. When you have a round tail like the Sweet Spot you have more control and typically a mushy 6ft wave has some wind chop and energy about it that I find a board like either a JS Blak Box or a DHD Doubleshot that have a larger outline square round tail will start to be unreliable in the bigger mushy stuff. I really rate this board. It just felt good and worked in so many conditions. Really good 2 board quiver man I like it.
