Woah, sorry to hear it mate. Exactly the type of stuff I'm talking about that's going on out there in the water. I'm guessing you didn't have a Gath on, yeah..? Hope you're healing up OK, cheers -KS

Yeah mate they had pro's and cons for sure. Weren't as durable as boards like the old Mantas but I preferred the feel and performance of the Morey Dow cores, especially in winter here. Quality control was sketchy sometimes on the Mexican made Moreys, so you had to have a good look at the boards in the shop before you grabbed one!! Yep Science are top quality boards still top of their game and definitely some Mach 7 inspired templates in their lineup,- after all, MS helped develop it! Thanks for the input mate, cheers - KS

awesome mate, that's great news. glad it helped you out! thanks for the positive feedback, enjoy -KS

When I have a really difficult zipper and vinegar is not doing it, I amp up to muriatic acid. Dangerous stuff, protect your eyes do it in sink to wash fabric right away. But it digs in deeper. Apply all around with dropper or fine brush on inside and out.

​@@ceeweedslsounds hectic but interesting mate, thanks for the positive input! Cheers -KS

yep it's frustrating hey mate! such a shame because otherwise they're not bad suits. and yeah the zips with larger teeth made of different materials are the go. cheers for the input - KS

Hey mate, Booth isn't releasing his old signature boards these days. This is a versatile Nomad brand board by rider Matt Lackey which has the same template as the old Booth Quest boards but modern materials. Stoked this shape is now available again for us prone/dk versatile lovers! Give one a try, and enjoy - KS

Ha yep, agree mate! So many good times were had on these. Keep an eye out for more vintage boog stuff on the channel coming soon yew - KS

hey mate, i haven't used one on a pump track so can't really say yes or no, but my guess is a surfskate might be better suited to a pumptrack due to the difference in styles used to maintain momentum. but who knows, they might be fun, maybe give it a try and see what you think. as for wheel durability, you may be able to try a different density wheel (eg- harder) that might last longer. hope this helps, good luck!

yeah mate i agree, great for both ways! i have other boards i enjoy but keep coming back to this one, great template for sure. thanks for the positive input! cheers -KS

hey mate, yeah i didn't use it long enough to wear out the strap ha, but yes the plastic isn't good for some skin types and can give rashes especially if left on too long. and unfortunately yes the watches themselves are plagued with issues. even if you get it all repaired/replaced, a new issue might pop up. it's a shame really. thanks for your input! cheers -KS

yep frustrating hey!! terrible design for saltwater wetsuits. spend your $ elsewhere, or at least until they fix this issue. cheers for the input -KS

hey mate glad you enjoyed! yeah the Mach HS had a Hard Slick bottom (hence the name) made of high density PE i think, not Surlyn slick which was on higher end models. they were mainly aimed at the beginner/intermediate market, but their template outline was fun for prone (Morey borrowed template specs from their performance shapes for most of their other boards) and some riders liked the durability and stiffness of those slicks when coupled with the board materials, as lower end boards didn't have the X-Flex Mesh reinforcement etc. hope this helps, and enjoy the board! cheers -KS

@@kookshed thanks for the info man! Looking forward to more of your videos

ha yes, that's a good point too! cheers -KS

Glad to hear it worked for you mate, enjoy! Cheers -KS

hey mate, by signature board i mean a pro model by a pro rider, usually named in the board's model name (ie- it has their 'signature' of approval and is endorsed by them). this HP Trad board is not a pro rider's signature model per se', but was still designed by team riders. yes it could be a starter board for someone i guess, but it wasn't really designed as one and is more aimed at intermediate to advanced riders. your Science board might be a signature board if it's got a rider's name attached to it (eg- Mike Stewart or Tanner Mcdaniel). hope this helps, cheers -KS

awesome to hear! enjoy the "new" suit (; cheers for the positive feedback -KS

no worries mate, stay tuned for more boog stuff! coming up -KS

thanks mate, glad you enjoyed, hope it was helpful in some way! cheers -KS

@@kookshed defo, it's between the Winny and a Lost.. Cheers from Cape Town

Quick question: I surf really cold water down here, but am going to Indo next month... how good is the board in warm Indo water?

@peterbrandt7456 it should be fine if it hasn't been ridden much before going I reckon. It will definitely be more flexible in the warmer water so try to take a new one as it might be pretty soft by the end of the trip. Hope this helps and have fun over there - KS

Epic, thanks for replying.

I owned the same board in the 80s but I put fins on mine.

glad to hear your 7-X was a great board for you, sounds like you had some awesome times in the water with it. Thanks for the positive input! enjoy - KS

@@bassinbillRC5300 reppin' the skegs in the boogie mate, good stuff! hope you had some fun times on it! thanks for the input mate, cheers -KS

hey mate, yeah i've got an Ecopro cork pad as well, i'm doing a review on them soon. and yes the Creeper review is also dropping soon! stay tuned yew - KS

Awesome! Looking forward.

hey mate, sounds like you recognise the value in these designs! yeah definitely a head turner shape but i think if more people tried and used them they'd be more common and accepted (eventually). glad to hear you're still repping the Meyerhoffer inspired boards! enjoy -KS

hi mate, yep agree. most seals like that become too fragile to last long with the current technology unfortunately. glad you've found a wetty you're happy with atm, thanks for the heads up on them and for the positive input! enjoy, cheers -KS

Thanks mate, a handy idea! I try to give tips using stuff that most people have access to, but yes that could work well on a low setting for sure. Cheers for the positive input - KS

hey thanks mate, glad you enjoyed and hope it was helpful! cheers -KS

hey mate, yeah they definitely stretch a bit! so it's lucky you went a smaller size for sure. yep both of mine have the folds on arms so i feel your pain. and maybe try the tip i shared to keep the zips from locking up later down the line in future, just as a precaution. thanks for sharing the feedback as it helps others too! cheers -KS

Yeah, the beeswax trick! I’ll definitely try it! Thanks! Happy to see that you’re uploading new content. You’re channel is gold! Keep them coming.

hopefully it works for you! if it doesn't work the first time, try reapplying. Also check out my other video on how to prevent it happening again. Good luck! -KS

@@kookshed it hasn’t worked yet, I even tried rust calcium remover and scrubbed with a toothbrush but the zipper won’t budge. I don’t want to force it and have it come off the track, but I need this to open. Ahhh!

@@releasetoreceive fair enough mate, sounds like it's fused on pretty solid! another viewer suggested using a pin to get the stuff into all the nooks and crannies of the zipper head and zip track teeth that you can as well, to help it get to work everywhere. if none of that works, maybe try a little WD40 in there or even coconut or sewing machine oil. but they are last resorts that don't necessarily work in this situation, it sounds pretty bad, i'd just keep reapplying and hope for the best. good luck -KS

Thanks for the positive feedback mate, glad you enjoyed and hopefully it was helpful! Cheers -KS

thanks mate! glad you enjoyed. cheers -KS

did you mean use a very fine Pin, yes? that could be a good idea if the toothbrush doesn't fully work in the zip head! thanks for your positive input! cheers -KS

that's great to hear mate! glad it worked for you, thanks for the positive feedback and enjoy using your suit again, cheers -KS

for sure mate, definitely a fun and fast ride! good idea having a backup one too, you sound a bit like me, i do that ha. thanks for the positive feedback, enjoy! -KS

that's great news mate! thanks for the feedback, enjoy -KS

good question mate. personally i did notice a bit of flushing through the side of chest flap if a wave hit at a certain angle. For bodysurfing can i recommend trying a zipperless suit? they are similar to a chest zip wetsuit but i reckon they seal better around the neck and chest if fitted properly, and are warmer overall if they use good materials. i'm going to post a vid about zipperless suits in future so stay tuned! cheers -KS

good question mate. i rode a bat tail again recently and gotta say they do spin excellently, but honestly the Wifly tails have no problems releasing/spinning at all, even in the pocket etc, you would think by looking at them they might hold too much etc, but no, i think the other design elements might offset this. keep in mind this board seems to go best in waves over 3ft with more power, so you might still need to bust out the bat tail for smaller days. hope this helps -KS

@@kookshed that's a great help thanks mate. I think I'll look at a bat tail again next spring, but for now as we're heading into autumn and bigger swells (🤞🏻) I'll stick with the crescents.

That's awesome to hear mate! Glad it helped you out when needed. Thanks for the positive feedback, enjoy! Cheers - KS

Nah mate but you're free to ask any questions here -KS

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed! That's an AQSS tail pad. Stay tuned for a review on them. Cheers- KS

Hey mate, this one is 5'11" , hope this helps! Cheers- KS

nice one mate! glad to hear it's still being used all these years later and bringing you good times! thanks for sharing, enjoy -KS

no worries mate! hope it was helpful. cheers -KS

no worries mate! glad you enjoyed. all the best from Oz -KS

you could be right mate, not sure on the exact makeup of the substance right now but yeah it messes them up for sure! hopefully this vid helped in some way though. cheers -KS

@@kookshed - definitely, the vinegar makes perfect sense. gonna put it on just before I go out for a surf next time - I just have a partial lockup on my front zip quicksilver

@jeffg4686 no worries mate. I've also got another video on how to keep zappers from locking up again that you might wanna check out as well. Cheers and good luck -KS

good question mate. i guess as usual it all comes down to personal choice, especially with the tail designs. i love my BP because it's very fun and i've had great times with it, but the TB is more refined and tweaked for a little more performance in my opinion. i think if you loved the BP you'll be very stoked on your new TB and happy with your swap for sure. enjoy! -KS
