This was very helpful! Nice to see the board dims of someone that's a similar height/weight as me, and how the different boards perform. Thanks for posting this!

[@taylorjensen8580]

Thanks Guys, having a lot of fun riding these boards 🙌

[@intertaipei3842]

Thanks for your feedback on those board, i can really see the impact on your surfing that those different boards have and how you adapt to them. I also like how you surf, inspiring.

I’m loving my 6’8 Boss Up as well!!

[@mattyk112]

What fins and fin combinations are you running in the boss ups?

[@ruben8114]

Smooth surfing bro! Loving the style. Cheers

[@mitchellp.3894]

[@skydart542]

Have a 7'0 Sunday in thunderbolt tech love it, like you said wave catching machine

[@StokedForTravel]

Great summer quiver there! Bit gutted the Sundays no longer have the centre fin box as I loved my first one as a single fin! 🤙

[@fuzz6454]

Thought you looked best on the 7'6", style wise. Smooth, controlled turns and nice flow.

[@taylorr3529]

just picked up the 7'3" Sunday. I love it, but everybody hates me

[@Savitur1]

Haaaa i want one

Owned 2. Didn’t think it was good paddler.

​@@Savitur1 The Sunday paddles like a dream for me. I primarily surf peaky beach breaks so I can easily hunt down waves, if you have the right volume the Sunday shouldn't be a problem

[@Savitur1]

@@taylorr3529 Cool, I like the sound of that! I have a custom 7'4 so I think this would be right up my alley

Sweet tail slides!

Solid review, just subscribed! I'm having trouble deciding between the BU & the SSB. I've surfed for over 20 years living in places like the Carribean, Southern California, and Hawaii. In my prime I'd consider myself an advanced surfer, but now I'm in my late 40's and land-locked in Texas so I'd downgrade my status to an intermediate/experienced surfer. I stay in pretty good shape by paddling in place in our pool using an exercise band. My surfing is limited to week long surfcations in places like California and Costa Rica. I stand 6'1 and weigh 150 pounds. Tall & lanky, light & nimble on my feet, and more of a front footed surfer. Given this information would you recommend the 6'10/7'0 BU or the 6'8/7'0 SSB for the handful of trips I get to take each year?

[@firewiresurfboards]

6'8 Seaside and Beyond. It will give you more versatility on the smaller side of the wave spectrum, and the thinned out tail with its narrowed width will still hold on the occasional good day. The Boss up is more ideal if you're planning to surf rounder, more punchy waves more often. Both boards are versatile and great all rounders, but if you're considering a lot of time in Texas and average California days, go towards the Seaside and Beyond.

[@markvandermerwe9655]

Hi Taylor Can you share what fins you used in each board? Thanks

[@bob33932]

How did you find it in those barrels you had. Would you prefer more rocker or was it fine fine? Also I'm 6'5 and size 13 shoe. Did you find tail wide enough? Thanks

[@Nardvens]

How do people rip on big boards

[@jw8556]

Well said

[@peacepuffz]

Any one tried keels in the Boss Up?
