Great review! What do you think about sizing up with this board? I surf inconsistent often mushy sometimes dumpy New England waves, I'm intermediate, 6'0 178lb and my 5'10" 33.7L hypto krypto feels like it bogs down unless I'm surfing it in good (rare) hurricane swell. Thinking about the 6'0 36.6L version. Is that too big for this board?
it was interesting because i sized down a bit on this and wasn’t dissatisfied. i usually ride like 29.8 liters on my shortboards. my gremlin was 29.4. honestly i could have used like .2 liters more but the design of the board with a “flat” rocker made up for it. the reasoning i had for getting a shorter groveler was . short so it can fit in small waves, and light so i can throw it around in small waves
round tails/thumb tails have a little more hold through turns. It could allow it to hold a little better in some bigger waves as well. It depends on preference. i personally got this is a square tail for some more slide/release riding it as a thruster.
the gremlin es way chunkier on the rails.... i hace both Gremlin and RR, both are amazing... both paddle like a champ ... but the RR has a little more performance, more rcoker on the tail and lower rails compare to the gremlin...
nice review, been thinking about picking one of these up in EPS for groveling in SD
that would be a sick set up. The extra lightness would do wonders with this already fast board
Gremlin or Channel islands Rocket wide???
We need more surf vids wetzel !
cameras, drone shots, and blogs are in creation. Thanks Man for the support it encourages me to keep going
Moving to SD in may, can’t wait to learn how to surf. Keep the videos coming! 🤙🏾

How different would the gremlin be if i order it with a round tail?
Thnks

Sweet review. Any comparison from the Gremlin to a Lost Rocket Redux/V3?

Can't wait to see footy Jake!
