I totally agree. This board is so good. It's my go to board for the South Shore. - David

Thank you very much for that. I haven't written a global surfboard in a long time, but I can't vouch for this. Machado Cado. I usually don't switchboards that often and I do have a choice of switching to any board After I dialed in my friends, I've been writing this every day for the past three months now Surprising most people that I surf with they don't complement your surfing. I've been surfing with them for over 30 years and two guys told me that I look really good on that surfboard and my surfing has improved which I'm really stoked. I feel like it flows through the T1's and sometimes the Rasta 2+1. Both are actually the same fin template, but the Rasta is stiffer and it has a little inside foil so it has a little bit more grip down the line and hold through turns. So if there's a little small town bump that's about chest to head high, I ride the rosters and then when it's smaller, I've been riding the T1 the T1 seem like they have a lot more flex so it kind of feels a little bit more playful. If you tried both boards, I'd like to hear that difference of how they feel in the water. - David

hahaha... I haven't surf that white tiger, but the Machado Cado is now my daily town board. I don't switch boards often. Of course I would try a few new models but once I find one that I like, I'll surf it for a few years and this one I've been surfing it daily for 3 months now.. Actually, I've been getting compliments on my surfing. It's really changed my approach the wave I'm not sure because it's the way it carries through the flats or what but I'm having a lot more fun and I feel like I'm able to connect the dots a lot better. - David

Stoked it helps... 🤙🤙

It's in the reactor family so yes it's similar to the reactor. - David

The board I have is FCS and I use the Power Twins...it work really well this it...If you have Futures try the EN Yes the Britt Merrick's are to big for the board.

6'6 and he usually rides as a Quad

Thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. We received a lot of great input from Keoni, our FCS rep here in Hawaii, so I hope this helps clarify things. When it comes to fin sizing, it really depends on the shape of your board and the type of waves you’ll be riding. For pin-tails in better or bigger waves I’d recommend using medium fins. You don’t want to "over-fin" the board , better waves naturally provide more speed. You just need maintain control without being too stiff, allowing for better maneuverability in powerful conditions. For smaller waves , boards like stubby, hybrid shortboards, or rounded fishes, such as the RNF 96 I'd recommend 2+1, MR or Power Twins In smaller conditions, larger side fins help grab more water, giving you the speed you need to get down the line. The small trailer fin keeps the board loose and allows for tighter turning radius and more responsiveness. For shortboards for small waves with a squash the large side fins can also work well to provide more drive. If the board feels too stiff, you can swap the center fin for a medium or small trailer fin to loosen things up and improve turning ability. Oh also if you are using a EPS and the board feels a little too floaty use one of Mick Fanning fins. The 2+1 and Thruster set up and the new Carissa Moore fins. The side fins, the leading edge they're a little more rounded so it makes the board sit and it doesn't let it bounce around. Also, when you're turning, it wants to hold all the way through the turn so you can do a real hard round house cut back without it sliding out and it's real predictable.. I hope that helps. I put a few leaks just in case you wanna check out the fins if you're in the US it's free shipping if you're international we can do that too. We use DX and it's pretty cool.

YEs he's loving it for sure!! - DAvid

Unfortually they do NOT make it in Thuderbolt anymore We did have it in the new Volcanic Tech the fist order sold out before it landed we have more coming and if you are interested can update you on the ETA. As for nose and tail size, I don't have the board with me and I don't know. I would have to find out when it lands again. Also, just to let you know, I texted TJ so as soon as she gets back to me, I'll let you know. - David

TJ replied the pro is Nose 17 3/4 Tail 13 3/4

Right on, Thank you for that! I hpoe no issues on the replacement.. I believe they have that issue all worked out. If memory serves me correctly it was an issue with a factory next-door. That was a metal machine shop and the dust was getting into the factory. If anybody that's reading this or you if you worked at a glassing factory, you'll know that the smallest dust makes a huge difference on the boards. Unfortunately when that happens, especially with metal, you really can't tell until after the fact So sealed off the whole factory kind of like a hazmat isolation rooom. Then I think slowly transitioned into a new factory. - David

Awesome Thanks for that updarte!!! - David

The CI Keels are a much large fin with more rank then this MR Twin. These twins are more upright and will pivot more then the CI's for sure. I would recommend the MR 2+1 for the neckbeard. I think the fin side fin placement is meant for more of a Thruster set up. You'll have the speed of a twin, but then you'll be able to go deep off the bottom and pickup some speed then pivot off the top. The MR's are upright fins. When you have straight twins, you're not supposed to surf it top to bottom, it's best to stay more in the top half of the wave. If you drive off the bottom with twin the board tends to bog or slide out.

Bummer they don't stock it anymore, but I kept mine and I still ride it - David

Works as twin on small days and overhead works good with the trailer. - David

I emailed the guys at CJ Nelson but no reply yet...as soon as they do I reply. - David

Hey this is David ..that pivot quad were you referring to?

From 10 years ago I'm pretty sure, they used to make it in the composite. I think these will be a little bit stiff because they put carbon into this one, but they are coming out with fiberglass ones. I think the John John ones just released today and we should be getting them in a few days.

I think he got the 7'2 X 20 1/2 X 3 V46.44 check out this interview with Dan Mann kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5bKYqeLd9BorcU

YES!! totally agree...what fins are you using on it? - David

Yep!! Love it - David

Ask instagram.com/harleyingleby/ He's will know...he's Will respond to DM's If he doesn't, usually that means he's out of the country and doing a shoot remotely. @harleyingleby

oh that's too bad maybe the board is just to advance for your level. Most of the people that have purchased the from us so far good reviews The person below @ Co8539 seems to like it. Maybe you need to change the fins to match your style of surfing. Maybe a big Cali Pivot to make the board slow down into the pocket and stabilize it for you. - David

For the S Boss

@@chrispaz5495 it all depends what you're riding right now What is your height and weight? How often do you surf what type of waves , beach break, reef, point? what is your go to board's dims and volume? Is that board s Poly or EPS? what is the brand and model? David

OH Sick!! I hope you guys score waves for the rest of the summer!! Let us know how it surfs what fins are you going to use on the board? - David

Oh Right on... Did you use?

Thank you for checking us out...pls dont forget to subscribe it helps us get the info out. Have an awesome weekend. - David

Aloha Thanks for reaching out with your question about the Dominator2 and the S Boss. Let's break it down to help you decide which board might be the best fit for you. The S Boss is more like a shortboard replacement. It's a bit easier to ride compared to something like the FRK because it's shorter, has a wider tail and nose, and really rips. It's not what I'd call a groveler; instead, think of it as a "rip stick" with low rails and super responsiveness. It also has a bit lower rocker than the FRK, making it a bit more user-friendly. The Sweet Potato Comparison I wouldn't really compare the S Boss to the Sweet Potato. Sweet Potato was designed for a completely different purpose. The S Boss is more performance-oriented and not really in the same category. The Dominator2 is an awesome choice if you're an amateur or beginner looking for a great shortboard. It's also a killer groveler for more experienced surfers. It has a fuller rail and nose compared to the S Boss, and a wider squash tail, which makes it really friendly and amazing in softer, smaller waves. It can handle bigger waves too, but it truly shines in the smaller stuff. Rocker Comparison As for the rocker, the S Boss actually took its rocker from the Dominator2. Dan just tweaked it a bit by flipping the tips up more, giving it that extra edge. Hope this helps clear things up! Let us know if you have any more questions or need further assistance. - David

@@hawaiiansouthshore Thnx for he info David. I thought Dan Mann said in one of his interviews that people who already are surfing a sweet potato the s boss will be very familiar underfoot although it's for better waves indeed. So I was thinking get something with a familiar feel or go with something else like the dom. They do have the same wave range right?

@@leighrosendahl2734  Yep Dan Mann said familiar under the foot meaning they way it goes thru the wave and lay over on rail but the the SP and Dom will not surf the same at all. The Dom2 good for small to average days up to head high open face or much. If the wave become steeper and hollow it will start to feel a little stiff because it's harder to bury the rail. David

@@hawaiiansouthshore Mahalo David!

My question is for the S Boss

Mahalo for checking out our KZbin channel. Based on conversations we've had with people coming into the shop and recommending different types of fins, here's a breakdown of each option. Long story short, the Power Twins seem to be the favorite here in Hawaii for surfing both in town and in the country. Here is a link to all the 2+1 in stock www.hawaiiansouthshore.com/search?q=power+twins&options%5Bprefix%5D=last The Flat Earth Love-Hate Relationship: Many people find the Flat Earth to be a bit of a love-hate board. Often, they need to go up in volume compared to their normal board. Some days they love it, and other days it can be challenging. This is likely due to its small sweet spot and loose nature. Aipa Twins Characteristics: Fast and very loose. Feedback: Many who have tried them find them too loose, lacking the drive and projection down the line that they want. MR Twins Popularity: These fins are super popular and come in several different colors. They’re well-regarded, but might not offer enough projection and hold for the Flat Earth. Recommended: Power Twins with Stabilizer Why They’re Favored: These fins provide more stability and projection through turns, which is great for the Flat Earth's loose nature. Designed by Harley Ingleby, they offer a stable feel and give you a feel of a smooth roundhouse cutbacks and still release off the top. Options: Available as a twin fin or with a rear stabilizer. Mick Fanning 2+1 Why They're a Favorite: These fins are perfect for surfers who want to push the board really hard. They allow for wrapped turns and big roundhouse cutbacks. The beveled leading edge on the side fins helps the board sit well in the water. You need a push a little harder to make these fins work.

Big Thank you for the support David

oh yes I think that would work for you. Let me know how it rides.- David

@@hawaiiansouthshore I’ll let you know. I’m looking forward to getting on something that will still allow me to focus on progression in less than ideal conditions. These days I can’t pick and choose the best days to get out there, so I figured this would be a big asset to my quiver.

@@trestlesrocks OH right on!!!

Mark is using the Endorfin Med Quads. I personally like using it with a 2+1 Set up. we recommend that set up alot and when people finally are open minded and f give it a try they're stoked just today. We had aguy that came in and after almost a year of recommending the 2+ 1 he used it on his sci-fi he was super stoked. Now in his line up in Kauai the guys are trying it out. - David

So to compare the two fins BMT More projection and hold thru turns Bigger turning radius EN will be less hold thru turns and the turning radius smaller.

@@hawaiiansouthshore so bmt is it 🙏🙏🙏

@@Eidref102 oh right on!! Let me know how it goes - David

@@hawaiiansouthshore I will. skippersreview also suggested the bmt fins for the big baron.

@@Eidref102 oh right on Good to know Thanks - David

Sorry for the late reply...man I cant recall..but I think it was the 7'2

we if you want to support small biz we sell it for the same and free shipping

Right on!! did you surf them?

@@hawaiiansouthshoreI will on Monday. They literally just came in the mail yesterday. We’re getting a tad bump in surf here in San Diego tomorrow.

@@charleshawk6668 Right on We've had a swell in town since yesterday on the south shore. Today was bigger...most sets were 3' to 4' and we had one 5' clean up set. Im guessing in about 3 to 5 days you guys will get this swell too. we have anther one next week that is similar in size so you have we have opportunity to test the fins out enjoy. - David

The 510 is V 37.6 & 60 is 40.1....I would say the 60... It's more of a growler so don't go down in volume. Our team rider rode my board and it's a few volumes too big but he said it didn't feel like he's too much on top of the water I guess because the rails are so pinched. With that extra volume you'll be able to float through the whitewash super junk days... So might as well make it fun. Here is a link to Daniels interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/iajLmmOijtqIapI - David
