Hey, where do you store your phone while surfing? Is there a place in your car that you can place it where the car won't turn on and work or just stay on when you leave your phone in the car?

Also just picked up a black sheep lost Pisces and would to hear your takes on it

I have dd2 in spinetek and dd2 fins. Board is actually pretty magic. Didn’t like it at first and then I’ve figured it out. Although I think it was designed for small range most people including myself like it in 3+’ surf. I think there are other boards that are better designed for bigger waves but for an all arounder this one does it.

this was really helpful! thanks

Thanks for this helpful and honest review. After seeing this im sticking to recording 4K on my iphone

is it similar to sub driver 2.0?

Right on with the sampler comparison. I have this board and it’s not like the original DD at all. It actually seems like less rocker, and the tail is a lot less refined or performance style.

Has anyone tried with quad config?

Anda the veridict?

I’m 47, 185 and ride a 30.5L 5’10 HE and I use it for groveling and good waves. Spintech is the only way to ride these. PU is too heavy.

Great review! You guys need to try this board with different sets of fins, I've tuned mine with Britt Merrick (semi-keel) fins for most days, and only use the AM Keels when waves go off head high. I'm truly in love with with this board with the BM fins to the point that it has become my daily driver.

Pyzel red tiger review?

Thank you

Think it would be a good begginer surfboard in a 5’10? Im 5’7 155 pounds.

Its crazy how individual surfboards are. What works well and is fun for 1 person, is a dog for another. You guys nailed the point of paying full price. No one wants to pay $800+ for a "maybe".

So basically this is the board to get when we have kids

7/4-6: I travel to the Wedge (Newport, CA) to get pounded by a southwest swell, but I can't film myself since my camera isn't working and is still with SS. 6/22: SS receives the camera. 6/18: After attempting to remote troubleshoot with the SS rep, and me sending them video of doing what they asked for, I was asked to send the unit back. 6/10: New issue: camera tilts down and just doesn't function. I contacted SS by email and received a response the next day (great service in that respect). 1/22: Received slip that looks like my camera is at the post office. 1/9/2024: On 12/1/23, I sent an email to support because my tag wasn't working, nor charging. I found out, on my own, that I needed to discharge the camera battery so that the camera needed charging. Only then would the tag charge. However, it took 26 days for an email reply to this tag issue. However, the rep asked if I had any other issues and I was able to share an issue that just came up a couple days prior. So, this next issue could be considered a 2-day response. On 12/27, I was notified I had to send my camera in due to issue #2. I sent my camera back on 12/27/23 and am currently waiting for it to return.

Hi I am 5’ 11” and I mostly ride mid lengths and high volume grovelers and am thinking of getting a 6’2” to just cruise through dumpy Florida beach break. Is that a good idea for a beginner shortboarder? Thanks

Just any kind of normal sock and flour?

good to see you guys back on the board reviews. keep em coming!

Thanks!

good review... its a good board but its not a groveller at all. The best sessions ive had were all at barelling chest high waves. Agree with the tips on sizing, i made the wrong choice and went 5'8" instead of 5'7" and its a lot of volume.

Thank you for your review. I had 2 original Dumpster Divers and a I had high expectations for this model. It is not as fat as the original one, and your comment that it looks more like a Sampler, it’s spot on. I surfed it In all round mush to 6 foot plus in the Maldives, and the extra volume on the front foot made it, a wonderful, forgiving, magic board. The best Dane Reynolds years were on this board(way before he was also a surf dad). I do believe that this model in spinetek/xtr (which wasn’t available back then) might be the best choice (although very expensive)- It’s good to hear honest reviews on the web. Keep going!

Good review guys. Although I really liked the Sampler, coming from that board to the DD2 was a whole new level and a different board. The manoeuvrability of the DD2 is way better. This is my favourite board now of all time and the best board I have ever surfed, better than the org DD, Sampler, org Neckbeard/Neckbeard 2 etc. I've been surfing it for the last 4+ months. It's true CI widened the nose and tail but they reduced the overall width so it is relative and has a straighter outline with more rocker than the org DD and more single concave with a flat deck. There is an adjustment factor which took me about 3 surfs to get use to for this board. Fins are definitely important (I agree with @spiffjiff05) and I found after trying quite a few that normally the Hayden Shapes HS2 (medium) pivot fins so far to be the best unless it is fast/steep. Futures have stopped making these fins but you can still find them in shops or 2nd hand or try other pivot fins that are based on your weight (don't go too big in fins either for this board). The AM fins (AM2 and AM1) I found were too tight and even with the smaller centre fin they are too raked (so wouldn't recommend the Dane fins either which are nearly the same thing and even Neutral fins seem too raked for this board). I'm going to try the Tokoro fins next which have a 9 degree cant angle instead of the normal 6.5 and these might be good also but on bigger days when the HS fins are too fast/pivoty. In terms of size you could choose a board close to your normal volume but you could go a bit shorter on this board, for me I'll probably get another one for Aussie summer time later in the year prob around 5'7, I currently have a 5'8 which is my winter board for when I wear a wetsuit). Awesome board.

Just to add another point of view, I think the board would be a lot more livelier with spinetek/xtr and ridden at least 4 inches shorter than your height. I got a custom 6'0 in xtr that i took to waco and surf locally in Orange County and been really liking it. I could see how it would feel more like a HPSB in dims closer to your height and in PU. DD2 has replaced my gremlin and is now my daily for home. Hopefully you guys can try different fins as might feel a little tight with raked fins.

Sounds like an HPSB

Self raising flour ?😂

❤

🎉🎉

Mind has been blown

Thanks guys, but why do you use millimeters for thickness but freedom units for temperature? Now I still don't have a clue which one to buy😂😂😢

Y’all should do the inferno FT !

Pyzel mini ghost would do the job this didn’t do for you guys, for the waves I see the happy everyday and those boards can’t surf a wave above 2 foot without skipping out it’s so heavy and punchy

If you could take any pyzel/CI model back to Waco, what would it be?

Since you already tried and tested the 5'8' happy everyday ,does the 5'7'' flat earth have the similar rail thickness? Thank you guys for those real reviews! Keep them coming!

Thanks for condensing this event down to 6mins! 👍🏼 And I miss your board reviews!

Joel had it! Always finishing #2 😭

No!

Does it matter!? He’s the Oc!

Radical

Great video thanks! I know it must be obvious, however I didn't notice if the WatchLA app can be used to start and drive the car?

he undersized it. that's why it was sluggish. also fins make a huge difference

How did this go for overhead waves?

Great review!

SoloShot as a company is NOT one you want to depend on to deliver any products, get support or service! SoloShot took my money strong me along telling products coming soon and they have NEVER delivered. NOW SoloShot won't respond via email, or chat, can't get them on the phone. DO NOT BUY FROM SOLOSHOT or any of their products!! You may never see your money or product!!!

I just ordered the e7 zipperless. I have medium tall quicksilver high line zipperless. Hoping medium Tall will be same fit 5 11 180

You guys ever get a chance to check out the Inferno FT? I’m contemplating a new board and the Inferno 72 and Inferno FT are two main contenders, but not a ton of opinions out there on when to choose each one.

They’re called “wings”, like it’d be a bump wing round tail……

I have owned the Soloshot 1, Soloshot 3 (twice over), and now have the 3+. By far, the 3+ has been a game changer. For those of you that are still on the older versions, the 1 spin calibration is so clutch. I am super happy with the new version relative to the old. My only pet peeve is that you can only charge the tag (remote) on the camera itself, even if the camera is 100%, you have to plug it in to charge the tag. They should sell a separate dock or charger for a tag so that you don't have to plug in the camera. Maybe there is no negative affect to plugging in a fully charged device. I'm not a battery or electronics expert. :( Also, at 5:55, an additional 10 minutes to set up on the older version is so frustrating when the surf is pumping. You are watching the crowds get bigger, your buddies catching waves, while you are pulling your hair on shore. LOL The 3+ fixed all that. Literally 2 minute setup, most of it is setting up the tripod. I turn the tag on at the car, the camera as soon as i pick a spot. Then while it is booting up, I set up the tripod. 1 spin and you are ready. crazy how much better this version is. I may have to do a review also, since it is so much better now. Cheers guys

I have a 6'0 32.4 and is soooo fun. I have an orange one and here on Peru everyone loves how it looks as it captures in a positive way others surfers attention. It's a really cool board. Fast as hell
