    I love you my friend. so please take this with that.the deck plug is too far back.
    the string is too long .
    so now the rail savor will not work! and it you will get a pull through guaranteed! Tell superbrand to move the deck plug up an inch. In the meantime make the shortest string possible. so the rail savor gets a chance to work... I was there in the development of the rail saver technology. Baby boomer Guy. Late 70s Baja Malibu Mexico!...fish is awesome!!!

First fish I remember was riden by a guy at my local break very well I might add in 1973. I think it was a little wide. In fact it might have been near 21". Maybe it was a little shorter also.

    Ben your board analysis is pretty much spot in I reckon. You had more drive and flow with the fling but more flare on the el fisho when the waves allowed. Hard to compare on two different days 100%. I think try the el. Fisho as a twin as mentioned below. You clearly can surf well on whether your on plus adapt to new boards quickly. Try a thruster set up to in the fling. Anyway there's my views 🤙🤙. No surfing here currently 😱. Got the Carver so mind surfing perfect waves on the street

    The fish is better for steeper walls. Rails seem more knify. Flings better for softer, mushier sets, closer to 50/50 rail schedule. But if i had to pick only one, the fling. It surfs everything. Growing swell Ben, too bad you couldn't be up here.

    Fiberglass looks good under your feet, Ben. Either way you surfed both boards very well. I personally liked you on the Experimental fish. Just because of the rail work. Although the fling may be a better smaller wave board, the fish did very comparable and would work better in bigger surf. Quad setup is cool but I would test both with a thruster setup. Yew!!

    I want to see you ride the Fling all the time! Also it bugs me how almost everyone calls a Swallow tail a Fish tail. A traditional Fish board almost always has a swallow tail. That board in this vid with the Swallow tail is not a true Fish board. It may have some Fish like properties though. It’s probably more true to call it a Fish hybrid. A Fish should be best in smaller waves. Come to think of it it would be awesome to see you surf a traditional old school twin keel Fish board. I’ve been making my own boards for 30 years. Thanks rant over. Ps wide tails are amazing.

    On the El Fisho, knew before you even gave the review that it worked great on the rail. Seemed very precise and clean. The El Flingo appeared less precise and a bit sloppy - more like the "skater" board. Definitely a good point though about the El Flingo allowing more flow and connecting sections on smaller waves. Great review.

      Rebel-Yell Okay...but why? At DOH it has to be perfect shape to pick you up. So frustrating if you’re just barely out of position and the board is tiny so you can’t get in. It’s actually frustrating to watch people struggle to get and surf waves on a board that is clearly too small. Hopping around like a bunny with turrets...and then bogging when they could have smoothly made a transition. But no no...Kelly Slater loves to go small...so of course you have 180 lbs guys trying to pop up on a board the size of a child pool floaty. Wave count goes way down. Misses go way up. And the ones they get, look like they are tying to stomp a cockroach and keep missing. It’s just silly looking. But I guess if you like it. Cool.

      @@torokitchencabinetsllc3577 I never do the bouncy thing, if I need speed I use what we old timers used to call the "fin driver" technique to gain speed by carving a series of short radius turns and then altering lateral trim (dipping the edges back and forth) once we got into the fast section to maintain momentum.
      The reason I used to ride small boards was because I was really into S turns and roller-coasters and to me these always worked best with the smallest board possible. I'm too old for all that now so I ride longer boards that float me better. Another reason I rode short boards is because I really like steep, late take-offs I guess it's the adrenaline junkie in me.

      That Fling he's riding is 33 liters and Ben ain't that large. The "sinking" (aka bogging) you're seeing is all about the lack of power in the ocean. That surf is utterly gutless. Nothing to do with the board itself.

    Package is a tail-pad that’s my guess before you open it.

    Thanks Ben for the review! Very sharp when saying on the first try it was period 6 force wave..that s good info because at period 8 or higher the board will show you better performance. Please how tall are you and your weight to check against board dims&volume? tks ..from ARGENTINA!

    nice sessions both, have to wonder if you will be slaking off the sponges. IDK if its real but your surfing seems more crisp and precise .
