HYFI Construction
JS Flame Fish 5'8" x 21 1/2" x 2 5/8" - 36.5L
FCS II Boxes
From JS
THE LATEST AND GREATEST IN OUR LONG LINE OF SUPER GROVELERS
Our unparalleled epoxy technology, HYFI, is a unique multi-layer construction that feels like nothing else out there. Think of it as a futuristic exoskeleton for a surfboard that allows it to be lighter and stronger than ever before, while still maintaining the ideal spring-loaded flex for maximum performance. Now, in the last 5 years since it was first released, we’ve taken everything learned to improve each aspect - the performance, flex, speed, materials used and manufacturing processes.
The Flame Fish is designed for surfers who want to get the most out of even the weakest conditions. Whether you’re dedicated, or just downright desperate for waves, the Flame Fish sits apart in your quiver to maximise speed and ability to throw down manoeuvres. It’s not a jack of all trades, but the master of one - the small stuff.
A wide nose outline combined with a smooth, flat rocker gives you the extra paddle power and glide we all want in weak surf, complemented by a generous distribution of volume under the chest / front foot. A deeper single to double concave provides plenty of lift and easy rail-to-rail transitions, with full rails to reduce catch and increase speed through choppy or soft sections.
Ridden around the same length as your Flaming Pony or approximately 6 inches shorter than your Monsta Box all-rounder, the Flame Fish comes complete with its signature spray and unlimited speed to burn.

looks like a really fun board for small soft waves. also, looks really good for someone needing to slow up their surfing to work on turns, get in early and plane on softer waves to create opportunities. Might be perfect for my waves actually. :) Thanks Wooly for the review.

[@WoolyTV]

I really enjoyed this one. Whats your favourite grovel board?

[@ThomyeSurfs]

@@WoolyTV It used to be the old Baked Potato but they don't make that anymore and mine fell apart. :( I love my Mashup and the Bobby Quad. too many to choose from, LOL.

[@surfgeek]

Great review Wooly , board looks like lots of fun !

[@WoolyTV]

@@surfgeek yeah I’ve kept this one in my quiver.

[@martialartscenterforhealth7143]

Thanks for a great review Wooly. Definitely a board I’ll consider.

[@WoolyTV]

@@martialartscenterforhealth7143 it’s a lot of fun

[@luizrosa1075]

Yeah tks wooly for one more awesome review

[@WoolyTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@chickaman73]

Hi Wooly! You convinced me to pull the trigger on the FF as my summer groveller! In the review you mainly rode it as thruster so we didn't see footage of you riding it as a quad. Noel liked the 2+1 and said it lit up as a quad. If possible, can I get quad and 2+1 recommendations from you for this board in FCS2? I am buying a Holy Hypto as a daily driver too (already have a Hypto Krypto but in higher volume for cruising) and know you can play with fins in that board too. Thanks again for your time and the awesome reviews mate. It convinced me on the FF!!!

[@martinspreyer6415]

Great review Wooly

[@WoolyTV]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@rodbarrett1581]

You aussies are so fortunate. What you call crappy surf would be borderline epic in so cal. Pealing peaks running all the way down the beach. Yew!! I was speaking about the first 2 spots you were surfing. Board looks good under your feet.

[@WoolyTV]

@@rodbarrett1581 yeah I did have some good waves to test the board out in as well as some junk. And I always watch Trestles and which I had a wave like that!

[@mrnosy1]

Wow, a sh***y day in WA is quite different to the UK haha. Great review, Wooly!

[@WoolyTV]

@@mrnosy1 don’t worry we get some shitty days - most of the summer is windy and small.

[@reubenbacon9156]

Think you might have found your new volume 😅 you made surfing that look so easy 🙌

[@WoolyTV]

@@reubenbacon9156 for a groveller this is perfect volume/length for me

[@FrankTankFlinns]

Yew..lov me Tractors....gotta ask do you or anyone use or have used fcs sharkband..

[@WoolyTV]

@@FrankTankFlinns I haven’t used one but I know we’ve sold a lot through the shop.

[@davidrace1050]

How quick does it pick up speed! Very fun looking ride.

[@WoolyTV]

She's a keeper!

[@JiahaoLin]

Those sh**ty waves in WA look very fun and inviting for gloomy nz winter

[@WoolyTV]

Yeah its a long winter over in NZ bro

[@jamescollingham9172]

Wooly, how did it go vs the sweet potato.

[@WoolyTV]

@@jamescollingham9172 it’s more manoeuvrable than the SP and goes on rail easier but the SP will out grovel it in really small stuff.

[@jamescollingham9172]

Thanks, makes sense :)

[@bryante4074]

Do you prefer this or the Sub Zero with the same construction?

[@bryante4074]

Ok just heard your final comments about the sub zero. Should have finished the review before asking!

[@WoolyTV]

Yes, I prefer it over the Sub Xero

[@bryante4074]

I’m thinking of this board (flaming fish) or the Xero Hyfi. I watched your review of the Xero and you rip that in small - medium waves. Which board would you prefer for every day (not good) conditions?

[@spinafex5729]

This one vs the Bobby Quad?

[@WoolyTV]

For me its this one over the Bobby Quad.

[@Canaryisland1]

Great review, complete with a warning that too much potato could give you a little fa*t!🤣

[@WoolyTV]

@@Canaryisland1 don’t want to spoil it but I was talking about all the seaweed in my hair and the guys that edit the clips thought it would be more fun to make a fart noise 😝

[@martinvelezmoro7250]

How does this compare to the Baron Flyer ?

[@WoolyTV]

@@martinvelezmoro7250 BF has more pinched rails and obviously only has the twin option. The FF has the option to run as thruster/twin/2 + 1 with the 5 boxes. The FF will out grovel the BF but the BF will handle bigger waves and you can turn sharper on it.

[@martinvelezmoro7250]

Thanks !! I order the BF , can’t wait , great review 👍🏽

[@WoolyTV]

@@martinvelezmoro7250 I loved the BF when I reviewed it, you can slice through turns.

[@WoolyTV]

@@martinvelezmoro7250 if you haven’t seen it already, check the BF review. I rode both at one of the right handers so you can really compare the way they ride by watching both.

[@martinvelezmoro7250]

I did ! That’s why I decided to go for the BF , thanks to you 👍🏽

[@franklinviele2399]

Been watching this and I can say, your fifty fifty needs work and I’d like to see a tray flip or double kick flip somewhere in there. Be better then the gap!

[@WoolyTV]

@@franklinviele2399 mate I can barely do a kickflip

[@johnnyhadji7841]

Hi Wooly , do you have the Machado vacado board in stock?

[@WoolyTV]

@@johnnyhadji7841 yeah mate we just landed them last week.

[@johnnyhadji7841]

Can you send to South Korea wave pool ?

[@johnnyhadji7841]

@@WoolyTV Can you send Machado cado to South korea?

[@WoolyTV]

@@johnnyhadji7841 send an email to [e-mail] and we can have a look at a quote. Just say what size etc and I will check out a price for freight.

[@johnnyhadji7841]
