- I’m an old man so there will be many that can ride this board with the 5’7 dims and have no problems. This is just a review from an older surfers perspective.

I just got a 5"11 it feels big think need to size down some. It almost feels the board is so weird the rails catches on steeper sections, but also the widest board I have ever ridden so that could be some of it adapting to the board.
Yeah when I had the 5’11 I didn’t like riding it on steep drops. Kept falling for no reason. But on softer days it was a wave catching machine. I’m on the 5’9 now and it’s pretty 🤩
Hey hey well done on the 5”7
I have a 5”9 which I am getting use to
I always put the rear grub screw in my FCs box
Front is hooked in and with the rear grub screw in I have never lost a an FCS fin
Keep you the blogs
Cheers from Australia
Awesome tip man! Will def be putting screws in next session. These fins expensive. The 5’9 dims seem perfect. Hope to pick up a 5’9 one day. 🤙🏾
I’m 45 and just rode my 5’6” seaside for the first time and also have trouble getting used to it. Maybe it’s all the volume up front that I need to be farther up on the board. I only surfed an hour tho so maybe I need to give it more time.
That’s pretty impressive trying the 5’6. I’m sure you will get the hang of it 🤙🏾. I’m at 5’9 currently and it’s perfect for me
@craigphillips6496 great tip. 🤙🏾
I just got the 6-ft 1-in I'm quite a bit bigger I like it but there is going to be a big learning curve!
Any seaside is good. Congrats on owning the best board ever
I’m 5 11, 165, I have a 5’6 Seaside. It is totally a performance board, just a fishy (hybrid) one, look at the tail it’s pulled in not wide like a real fish. I find it’s not a true groveler due to the narrow thin tail. It’s a fast board and can do small waves great, but it needs waves w a little push and cleaner conditions. It’s bad in soft waves and chop. I find it can take off at a high angle down the line. Cheers man
Agree with everything you said. 🤙🏾. Now if I can only learn airs on it. We will see 🤙🏾
@@surfininmy40s good luck, just hit the ramp when it comes, and remember helium floats 🤙🤙 (I can’t do airs ;)
@@Ihatetoprocrastinate yeah me either but I need to try. I’m not getting any younger. Thanks for watching and for your comment 🤙🏾
Howzit 🤙 Did you have grub screws in the boxes? I have FCS fins in all my boards and even though they say the system is tool less, I still put the grub screws in. I still almost lost a fin as my leash nearly pulled the fin out after a wipeout. Had the grub screw not been there, it would have been gone. Got a 5’2” seaside myself and it’s so good!
Seaside is da best side 🤙🏾. I do have the grub screws now. 👌
