I have a 6-6 lost crowd killer round which is very similar to that board, before trying the BMT's I Was using the MR's with a trailer fin, I prefer the BMT's @@TheSurfboardGuide
Hey Craig, I’m torn between the CI M-23 and the Chilli Mid Strength around 7’0. What are the main differences or reasons to buy one versus the other? Keith
Hey! I don't wanna ruin the full review, but i hope this makes sense. I like the M23 as a 6'6 - i wouldn't want it bigger. It has more of a shortboard feel but with added volume and buoyancy. It turns well and you can still feel like you're surfing well. I think if it was bigger for me it would start feeling bulky and clunky. I like the Mid Strength at 6'10 - or even bigger. Something about the design allows it to feel like a big board with a long rail line, but then feel very versatile and maneuverable when you want it to be. The Mid Strength let me surf it as a quad, and using a smaller quad set kept it maneuverable, but it had great grip through the long rail line. I don't think one of these is better than the other, i think they are both different, and do a different type of surfing... Hope that helps!
Hey! Not sure if you’re familiar with our reviews, but this is the “Initial Thoughts”, so it’s just an intro to the board. We’ll be back in a few weeks with a few review that’ll include surfing footage and more ✌️
For sure, but probably not in the real steep/heavy stuff. 6-10ft Uluwatu and this thing would be a dream. 6-10ft Desert Point, this might feel a bit bulky and you’d want the Happy Traveller or something more refined through the front ✌️
Really looking forward to the full review!
Keen for this one!
Look forward to full review. Can you compare to the midstrength?
Will do - there similarities, but they’re very different…
I really like the Britt Merrick Twin fins, it's a high bred twin fin set up, real drivey and enough pivot to turn
The BMT’s? I don’t know if I’d ride this as a pure twin… have you tried it?

Looks interesting, have you tried the DHD Interceptor?
Hey! No, is that a mid from DHD?
Yeah, looks interesting, runs from 6'6- 7'2, cheers Brett
Don’t really do DHD’s…
Hey Craig, can you do jS el baron review please
Hey! I don’t really do JS boards anymore…
When is the actual review coming out?
Hey! Hopefully in the coming weeks, have surfed it plenty and got a good understanding of what works/doesn't work, but just need to film surf footage!
What traction pad is that?
Channel Islands - Dane Reynolds pad!

@@TheSurfboardGuide I am torn between the 2 as well. Look forward to it!
How is this different to the round tail crowd killer?
Never surfed it, so no idea
It would be very useful, besides your comments, to watch a video surfing with the board in different conditions

@@TheSurfboardGuide Thank you!Subscribed
i like art work who did it 🤙💛💚💙💜
His daughter
My two boys did it, but not sure it was the best idea as it now has about $0 resale value… 😂
@@TheSurfboardGuide could be a keeper 🤙
Well, no one else is gonna want it…
Hahaha
Could you surf this as a step up board for indo?
For sure you could, but of course the “happy traveler” would be ideal
