Hi I had a regular blak box 6.1 for 3 months, snapped it and got it repaired but I loved this board so much I bought a 6.0 HiFy. I put quads in it and could not agree more : Its fast, forgiving and makes me surf better (or at least think I do !!) Really a superbe board !
I remember the roundtail black box 2 review.. I think it's possibly this biggest rap you've given a board! I think we've all heard rumours or what ever about some hyf's 12 or 18 months ago.. I know a few people who have the monster box in hyfi, it's ridiculous how much they love these boards! Good stuff benny 👍
Ben back in dah house! love this tech. Best board ever, spot on regarding the backside assessment. Nice broad sweet spot. Very very fast.
Glad to see you're back Benny! Love your reviews - - honest, funny, insightful… Love it that you are call yourself an intermediate/average Joe surfer… Makes the reviews more realistic and applicable to someone like me… Keep those videos coming! Have you tried the new puddle fish from lost? Again thanks and God bless - - Chris
Thanks so much for the cool feedback Chris! Most of us are 'everyday' surfers :)
New Puddle Fish on order, stay tuned...
Hi Benny, Thanks for your review. I got one of those and couldn't be happier. Great board, all around and great value for money. Cheers
Great to hear Marcelo!
I'm with James Hill he just watched your V3 rocket video and says what's up Benny!
another great review thanks, got a Hy FI Monsta Box and loving it, similar feel to what you described , volume and riding. if you are in the market for a lighter board that surfs tight, this is it.
How has it held up durability wise? I got one and snapped it first surf haha
I just got one about 2 weeks ago, in 5'10 X 19 3/4 X 2 3/8= 29.3L, i defiantly think its a lot faster. great board. will be hard to ever go back to riding a PU set up again
Thomas Tyler which Size and weight do u got?
Thomas Tyler what dimensions you got?
Got a Monster Box in hyfi and ended up snapping it in my first surf (bailing and duck diving waves) which was probably too big for it (around 6-8 foot... was too keen to surf it!), luckily I get to replace the board free of charge again in Hyfi or in PU construction. I surfed the Hyfi in 3-5 foot and it was unreal and also I already have a high performance PU for when the waves are 5 foot + so range isn't really an issue. My main concern is the durability and the issue of getting another hyfi and breaking it down the line as they seem to do. What's your opinion on what I would get more use out of in the long run, and whether the PU is stronger/durable and less inclined to break or if it was just a freak accident?
Keen on one of these...How long for the puddle fish review? I have come pretty close to getting one a few times in the last few weeks, but want to see someone surf one or read a good review first. Hard to relate to any other board!
do a review on the new firewire skx please
I have the SKX, itssss sooo good on backhand and forehand and really fast, good to do airs and its just a great board
would love to see you review the genghis, black label edition from CLAYTON the 4 channel with the plastic stringer, game changer
Never heard of it but it sounds interesting! Where is the shaper based? Can you send a link through here?
really never heard of him? originally from durban but based on the goldie now, gotta get the black label with the plastic stringer www.claytonsurfboards.co.za/the-genghis/
he also does some amazing surf coaching and podcasts check out

love the reviews by the way and i think your online shop concept is epic, keep it up benny yew
I'm currently surfing a 5'10 CI sampler and a 6'2 CI Grabbit as my 'step up'.. would you recommend the BB2 or monsta box for a replacement for the sampler? Mainly used in beachys
How would you compare the BB2 vs a Fred Rubble which is also considered a solid all-rounder??
Hi Chris, I've had both and LOVE both! I surfed the CI Fred Rubble at 6'6 and more of a step-up for slightly bigger waves but it is one of the most capable and loved all rounders I know of. I know surfers at all skill levels that swear it's the best board they've ever had (Cozza, looking at you). They're both dynamic yet easy to ride.
The BB2, I feel, has the edge in smaller, more average conditions but it loses its edge when it gets solid (few feet overhead+). But I took the Fred Rubble on two trips to the Mentawais and it never flinched, even in big, powerful surf.
If anyone has ridden both, please chime in here and share your opinion :)
Hope this helps you Chris!
Benny's Boardroom, thanks for the info. Love the vids! Keep em coming!
Hey guys ! Sick board ! But be sure to check it out the new V3 Stealth from lost, so loose and snappy and a loooot of drive...
Oooo, you sold me Gabriel...plus I have a thing for Matt Biolos' boards...must try...
You definitely should and I highly recommend the CW version !
Let's see some videos of your surfing then review the board you surfed on
What is your height and weight? I’m leaning towards getting the 6’2 but never been on a 35liters, usually I’m on 38liters.
I use a al merrick flyer2 6“6 fish since 2005 and really try to keep my weight at 90kg I am 189cm - I am really interested in getting a smaller board - u think a 5“10 bb2 is ok or way much too small?
Do you have any idea on how you fix this boards? If you do it will be really helpfull to know. Its a great boars but also expensive to buy 😅 i would like to fix mine before i buy another one.
Gday benny cld you review a spider spider bomb board next
Hi Benny, I'm about the same size as you, but I have done approx 20 more laps around the sun than you. You mentioned that the build technology in this board still enabled it to sit in the water about the same as a PU, but does that mean it has the same buoyancy as a PU or greater? Kind regards, Reggie
Hi Glenn, I'm no expert on this but EPS foam is more buoyant vs. PU. However, there other materials that go into the making of a board and, as mentioned, it feels like some alternate construction boards 'feel' more like traditional PU than they used to (think early Surftech)
Glen , I'm 48 at 210 lbs I got a 6-6 @ 41.6 but found it to carry a bit more float than I was used to. Will NOT sell the board though because it is so easy to catch waves and generate speed. I recently bought a 6'3" @ 36.4 and it didn't have the same "pop" but i had it in gutless mush point break and it still paddled great. I'know it will go good in better waves so I'll keep it for good days. I'd say you can reduce your volume by 5-8% with ease.
Ant D thanks for your reply. At 49, 6'3,"now a weekend warrior with average fitness for my age, 235 pounds, & declining surf ability, I have been going for boards with higher volume. However, these higher volume boards may be "part," but not all, of my surfing ability's reverse trend. A number of credible surfboard volume calculators recommended volumes far exceeding 55L! I have a 6'10" Hypto FF @ 54L & it's too much board for me. I guess it depends on where the foam is concentrated in the foil. So having said that, you might have the correct approx volume but the incorrect foil profile? For me, this makes it difficult to choose a board on volume alone, and near impossible to work out unless you surf the actual board!
Buoyancy is purely a product of weight - displacement - and nothing else.
What fins do you have on there? they look very nice
Whats the different between a black box and a monsta box hyfi?
HI benny I have a blak box 2 hyfi i am really happy in small waves, but when get chest high or bigger, its kind of difficult to turn, (or may be I am just a bad surfer), anyway I am thinking of getting a board for bigger waves, having in mind that I have de blak box 2, and trying to have two board quiver, wich board you recomend ? for bigger waves chest to may be a few feet over head. I look the lost v3 stealth and rocket, the lost quiver killer also, firewire de scifi o gamma, I am an intermediate sometimes not so intermediate surfer, love the show greetings from mexico. waiting for some reply.
Dont get the sci-fi for bigger waves its a bit too skatey and loose but i would definitely recommend the gamma tho
What the difference between bb2 to v3 rocket?haaa
Love my bb2 hyfi but have snapped 3 and folded a 4th in 12mths. To JS credit they replaced 3 boards but I won’t be buying another
can you do pyzel boards ?
Stay tuned Riley, coming soon...
Lol I snapped my board yesterday in 1/2 foot slop
