Would you choose this board or the Lost Psycho Killer?Also id be going for the identical dims for this board 6'2 x 21 x 2 7/8...how are the rails at this thickness?Big and boxy?
Thanks Ferdinand! I have not but I reckon these guys would work the treat: bennysboardroom.com.au/collections/surf-hardware-surfboards-fins/products/futures-fins-amt-honeycomb-twin-fin-set-smoke I'll give em a go!
Good review, I would have liked to see different construction options like the spine Tex and different fin boxes like fcs 2 and maybe talk about the quads or even five fin options and what it felt like under your feet
1 to 3 ft US, specifically Cowell's or San Onofre,San Clemente. So Flat/Mushy and 1-3FT usually. It's a bit hard working with mushy waves on my PE White Noiz.
I don't know the waves but it sounds like you want something for really small, weak, mushy. I think you'd be better off with the Average Joe or something similar!
@@Comparesurfboards yeah there are a lot of longboarders where i surf.i appreciate your response, we'll head down to some shops and check out an Average Joe! Thanks man!
hey ben! amazing review as always, for that waist to head high i always surf a new flyer, do you think do rocket wide will be much diference? sometimes the flyer i struggle to find speed in these conditions.
Hey Benny love the vids, please help me out! Looking for the easiest board to get air in small waves. Do you remember the Hayden merlot? Would you say that’s the best board you’ve tried for that in mind? Thanks!
Hey Kaleb, I can't speak from experience as I don't (can't) do airs...but the Haydenshapes Merlot does seem to be a favourite for punters. The CI Neckbeard, too...and now there is a Neckbeard 2!
Dude pod mod for SURE. I’m from Texas and have made so much progress on my pod mod surfing Texas mush. I’m 5’9” and 145 lbs and can ride a 5’5” pod mod on almost every condition Texas has and have fun.
Hey Sean, we've done reviews on the Pod and Pod Mod. Check em out! Pod Mod - comparesurfboards.com/reviews/smallwaveboards/channel-islands-pod-mod-review Pod - comparesurfboards.com/reviews/channel-islands-pod-review-round-tail Have not ridden the Nugget!
CompareSurfboards.com yeh I was waiting for a coffee after a surf and thought it was you but didn’t want to be a creep shouting across the carpark at you, haha. Dont be too hard on yourself either mate, that was a pretty average day wave wise
Hey Benny, I just sold my V3 rocket 6ft 34.5 ltr. I loved the board but I need a little more volume and paddle- I'm looking at the Rocket Wide, Psycho Nitro and the Psycho Killer- I surf mostly beach breaks near Sydney from waist to head high and want a board that performs well in all of these. I am 85Kgs and want to stay around that 6ft length with about 36-37 ltrs- what would you recommend?
Geoff I rode my V3 Rocket for many years. I replaced with bro dims with Psycho Killer and it paddles awesome but the board is weird. Skatey at times and going up in volume has affected it's performance. I suspect I shouldn't have gone up in volume. Held the Rocket Wide yesterday in a shop and it looks the business.

If you had to pick one for everyday conditions, Rocket wide or Ultra Joe??
Looks a lot like a PodMod with a more pulled in nose. I bet a set of AMT’s would be really fun in that board.
Will have to try those AMT's in the CI Rocket Wide Dthraco! Thanks for watching!
Great review as always. Keep them coming! Did you try it with twin fins? I remember that CI recommended twins with the original Rocket.
Thanks Ferdinand! I have not but I reckon these guys would work the treat:

Are you going to review the CI Bobby Quad!?!??!?!??!?!!?
would you suggest this for beginners or more for advanced surfers?
Good review, I would have liked to see different construction options like the spine Tex and different fin boxes like fcs 2 and maybe talk about the quads or even five fin options and what it felt like under your feet
Thanks for the feedback Miguel!
Im torn between the Rocket Wide and the Average Joe. Which is better for 1 to 3FT waves?
Hey ReddChicken Man, is that 1-3 Aussie or US? And what wave type? Flat/mushy, steep/hollow, etc.?
1 to 3 ft US, specifically Cowell's or San Onofre,San Clemente. So Flat/Mushy and 1-3FT usually. It's a bit hard working with mushy waves on my PE White Noiz.

hey ben! amazing review as always, for that waist to head high i always surf a new flyer, do you think do rocket wide will be much diference? sometimes the flyer i struggle to find speed in these conditions.
Hello! Im 5.6, 125. What size I should buy?
Seems very similar to the lost short round, but with a swallow tale. Loved the short round, may try this one out.
Some similarities - fast and flat and nimble enough to throw around when it's smaller! Nice comparison Starvin Marvin and thanks for watching!
Hi Benny, great review, how does the Rocket Wide compare to the Puddle Jumper RP?
Liking the look of this, how does it compare to the the js psycho nitro?
Hey Fishskulls, hadn't thought to compare them but pretty similar as far as wave range and fun factor goes!
Super awesome yes....

Hey! Love your review! I'm an intermediate 80kg and 182cm. The guys from the shop here in Bali suggested me the 5'11 34.4lt. What do you think? Thanks
Solid review brotha
Hey Ben! How would you compare this vs the Sampler? Say for 1 to 4 feet waves
Neckbeard 2 for review next pls heard its insane
Have just collected a shiny new CI model...but not the Neckbeard...stay tuned...
HI Benny,
Great review. Any thoughts on this vs the Pod Mod or the Pod? Or even the Pyzel Nugget?

What’s the favorite groveler?? Do you guys not respond on yt?
Were u up at soldiers a few weeks back on a quad simmons?
I was indeed! And surfing badly! Were you there?

I'm 5'10 220. Should I get the 6'2 or 6'0
If you're in between sizes, I always recommend going up. More size and volume is better for the vast majority of surfers!
It looks a lot like my CI K whip.
Yes yes...
