You're comparing to the 5'7" BV2 but sizing is so different. Could compare if it was 5'6 BV2 vs 5'4" RNF96 maybe.

Hey mate, you are right about sizing difference. However, even with sizing, the RNF 96 feels better than the BV2 from Chilli.

finally got my hands on one of these redux RNF in iconic 5'5" x 19.25" dims and running T1's. I love the board it has a very particular feeling- always feels on top of the water but when you turn it the fins and rail grab and there is a lot of hold. You can really stuff it in steep faces! For someone who spends most my time on mids/fishes this is what I want a thruster to feel like without any of the drawbacks. Mine feels not very lively in smaller/mushier surf but I think it's had a nose buckle repair and the PU foam looks old.

@jakesboardreviews 7 сағат бұрын

It’s an unbelievable board. Definitely in the top 2 boards I’ve ridden in my lifetime. That’s what I love about The RNF Redux, you can rip into it as you would with a normal thruster. Old foam makes small wave surfing difficult, after too much yellowing, it doesn’t carry the same drive in weaker waves. Glad you’re enjoying it mate 👍

Love your reviews! If you are looking for a new fin to review, I'm really curious about how the new FCS 2 Gabriel Medina fins feel. I just got a lib tech quiver killer as my first own board and I'm between the Kolohe's and the Medina's as the first pair of fins for it. But of course also open for some other suggestions.👍🏽

I’ll try check out the Medinas. To be honest, you can’t go wrong with The Kolohe’s. I ride a medium set, and they just work. They have Enough hold, and also good release and drive. Try them for your quiver killer if that helps.
