Tory Strange talks about the perks of going shorter, wider and thicker and how the Biscuit works as an alternative to a longboard or funboard for small waves.
Don't be afraid to go short, 5'9 180 pounds intermediate and I ride a 5'4. Granted I can't compete with longboarders but as an alternative to a shortboard on small weak days its a blast.
@SurfStationReports I only have the epoxy one for now. Im going to pick up my tuflite next weekend. Ive handled my tuflite and the only difference I can tell is the finish is nicer and it is tougher. These are both beginner borards for me.See you guys soon.
The biscuit is 22 1/4 and 3 1/8. I don't have the Stewart anymore to check, but it was thick and wide too. The nose cracked off in a hurricane swell and I've been riding a 6'5 fish since then...it's just harder to catch waves for me now.
yes we are weirdos over here. Actually, it gets really windy here so fins out (or forward) has your board blow into your body instead of away and flailing all over (kind of like you put the board upside down on top of your car). But mostly we are just strange. Cheers.
Nick, we haven't heard of any cases that extreme before. Of course our waves here are not that powerful. Firewires certainly are not bullet proof but they are stronger than a standard performance poly board
@marcoslnobrega This one is 5'11. Tory is riding his board much bigger than the recommendation out of preference. They say to ride it 3 - 6" shorter than your height. So for you that would be 5'9 - 5'6 but if you are a beginner, you would want to go bigger really. If you rode it at about 6'2-6'6 it would be like a funshape for you...which is ideal for learning. Hope that helps. Please e-mail support@surf-station. com if you have any further questions
Yes your target size would be about 6'4 but if you get it larger it is just going to have more qualities of a midlength or funshape. It may not be your performance board for waves with more punch, but I don't think it would bother you to have one that was 6'8.
I'm 6'1" and 210lb. I'm in my late 30's and I'm wondering if a 6'8" biscuit is too big for surfing in NJ year round since they say to buy shorter. I was riding a 6'10" Stewart funboard before this and I've been surfing since I was 16. Thanks for any input your can offer.
Daniel, you would probably want to get one between 5'2 and 5'4. You can find a local dealer on cisurfboards . com /find-a-dealer/usa-east-coast/ but if there is not one near by we can ship you one.
Have you ridden boards that short before? If you are used to riding little fishes and mini simmons, it will be fine but it could be a little small if you aren't accustomed to those really short boards.
I'm 5' 8" and weigh about 140 pounds. I'm 14 and this is my second year surfing. I surf in South Jersey where the waves a mainly small. I was wondering what size I should get and where I could buy one? Thanks!
i dont know if you guys carry fire wire surfboards i am considering the baked/sweet potatoe rapid fire but i was wondering whether which board is more durable. thanks, nick
Hey I'm 5'11 170 lbs intermediate level, i found a good deal on a 5'3 biscuit but I'm wondering if that'd be way too small for me. Any ideas on it would be appreciated

I have two of them, one is a tuflite. both are awesome, both I got from surf station in St. Augustine.
Yes we do carry Firewire surfboards. The FST seems to be the most durable construction from them.
cool thanks for the answer, and cool vid i thought the break looked really fun especially on that board
killing it tory... nice style.

@SurfStationReports Thank you very much!!
Mr. Fantastic approves the Biscuit.

Yep! Tory worked with Al to design that board.
@762sd Awesome! What kind of differences do you notice between the two constructions?
i heard stories about the board breaking in half just from duck diving because of the way the composite string is placed and the foam being so lite.
Yes your target size would be about 6'4 but if you get it larger it is just going to have more qualities of a midlength or funshape. It may not be your performance board for waves with more punch, but I don't think it would bother you to have one that was 6'8.

bb, how thick and wide was the stewart? Typically the Biscuits are thicker for their height than most other boards.
What size is this one and what would be a good size for me? I'm 6'0 and 165lb, beginer. thanks

who holds their board with the fins facing out? do they do that often in florida?
How tall and how big is Biscuit?

can you send me one to Malaysia?? Waves similar....:)
im 5'8 i ride a 5'4 im like 140 may be a little too small for you
What size board is that?
Would it not make sense to get to get a neck beard and a biscuit by CI?
Ian,
Per your question below:
The Biscuit ridden in this video is a 5'10" x 20.5" x 2 7/8th
WillyM415,
To answer your question: yes! I have both boards.
