JS Black Baron 2.1 (EP.20 First Impressions Favourite JS Board So Far)

[@noynizri7860]

Great to hear everyone happy with this board! I’m considering to get one 5”6 just like the one you reviewed. What is you’re dims? Height and weight? trying to get some perspective🙏🏻

[@jakesboardreviews]

Dims: 5’6 19 1/8 x 2 1/2 26.9L. I’m around 5’11, and weigh roughly 68-70 Kg’s if that helps.

Mate, My friend Eyal and I were talking about you a few hours ago. He went to check out this model and we were wondering if you were planning to review it. Looking forward for your review🏄‍♂️

yep...and at the end choose:bv2 or this one😊🤟

[@jakesboardreviews]

Guy, how are you mate, I’ll keep you posted on how the board goes, it is super fun so far.

[@jakesboardreviews]

@@eyalpolishook6486 Will do brother, that’s a great video Idea. I’ll let you know what I think between those two after the next couple of surfs on The Black Baron 2.1.

Recommended for 2-6 foot surf? (Israel wave)

[@jakesboardreviews]

It’s Maybe not the best choice for Israel’s waves, but in your wintertime, it would be a good option to surf the beach breaks in Tel Aviv and Herzliya during the head high swells if that helps.

I really want to get one I’m an intermediate/ advanced surfer. I usually ride a 5’6 Hypto (about 28 L). Should I get a 5’6 bb 2.1? Or maybe the 5’5? Just wanna make sure the rail can sink properly (I’m 5’7, about 70 kg, good fitness, surfing mostly beach breaks) I’m thinking about the hify 2 construction

[@jakesboardreviews]

Hey mate, sorry for the late reply. I’d recommend you go the stock 5’6, as the 5’5 may feel a bit too small due to it being a 2+1 setup predominantly. I would say buy the Hyfi only if you want to surf this board in the 1-3 ft range if that helps.

Have you tried as a thruster? Think it’d go good as a normal thruster

[@jakesboardreviews]

Mate I did with the Large Am template, and it felt really locked in, more like a shortboard though with a thruster setup.

@@jakesboardreviewsjust curious why you ride the Large Ams don’t you only weigh like 150lbs ?
