It duck dives ok. It's more the nose than the volume that makes it a bit tricky.

Tuflite is pretty strong and less weight than poly. Fusion is even lighter but not as strong as Tuflite. Here is more info; surftech.com/collections/tuflite surftech.com/collections/fusion-hd. 👍

I ride mid lengths most of the time so 40 to 48 liters for a shortboard works best for my size. I would choose the Seaside over the Evo because the rail to rail transitions are a little smoother and more fluid. The Evo's nose is not a problem at all and actually works well when trimming through flat sections. 👍

Thank you

@@marcolima7074 Sure, no problem.

This is my favorite board at the moment. The AIPA is a bit faster but the Beachbreak is lean and loose.👍

👍

👍

yes

It's sold, sorry.

@@surfboarddemos Thanks for responding. How much did you sell it for? Thanks again

Thanks for the video and pics buddy!

Completely different boards. The GB is like a mini longboard and my Seaside is a fish, 10 inches shorter.

Thanks my friend. Your filming and photos made this one happen!👍

I used yesterday's photography sequence you shot on my newest video. Thanks my friend.👍

👍

@@surfboarddemos Did it feel slow to you? It looks like it kinda bogs a bit.

@@nimajafarian1434 Needs bigger waves. It's a performance longboard.

6ft. 190 lbs. (listed) Thanks

You feel good with 6.0 or you will prefer a bit smaller 5.9 or 5.10​... i am same weight and height like you and Intermerdium surfer.. surf one a month... what do you recomend... @@surfboarddemos

A few miles away from the pier. 👍

@ North or south of the pier? I stay in Orlando on visits here and have only surfed a couple times at Cocoa and NSB and have yet to see anything like you’re surfing up there. Thanks.

@@derektsuji9520 Check out my other videos. This particular day was north of the pier. Today's peeling sand bar will be tomorrow's shore pound close-out, lol.

@ Thanks for the info🤙 I’ll do some surf checking next time I’m up that way.

@@derektsuji9520 👍

Paddles like a longboard, surfs like a mid-length👍

I've surfed it as a single fin. Better pivot than a quad but not as fast.

I like both. Fusion is lighter but more prone to pressure dents and dings. Tuflite is very durable and has a bit more weight to it.

Yes, the Greenough fin felt a bit more responsive and was more stable when trimming.

Thank you for the kind words my friend. My two cents on grovelers is that they will never compete with longboards or mid-lengths even at equal volume. Too corky. Check my 7'4 Takayama Scorpion videos. Same volume as the 6'4 Sweet Potato but way more proportional. Wave count is the number one goal for me at my age. That's why I mainly surf the Walden 7'2 Mega Magic. Paddles like a longboard, surfs like a short board. Good luck!

I've yet to ride a DW but my guess is it is similar.

It is. 👍

👍

Thank you. It is my favorite.

​@@surfboarddemos I had this board, now I have the addvance 7.2 62 liters. It has more manoeuvrability, but the mega magic is easier to ride, very forgiven board

@@Cif-ng3gs Haven't ridden an Addvance yet. Not a big fan of Timbertek.

@@surfboarddemos have you ever ridden the pyzel the log?

@@Cif-ng3gs I have not.

(pictured at the start of the video) 7" True Ames Greenough 4-A Volan center fin with 3.5" Futures SB1 Fiberglass Sidebites👍

Sorry, it's a 6.5" Ames Greenough 4-A Volan center fin, not a 7"👍

@surfboarddemos which construction type do you prefer tuflite or fusion? And how do they compare?

@@michaelk.5706 I like both. Fusion is lighter but more prone to pressure dents and dings. Tuflite is very durable and has a bit more weight to it.

The Mega up to chest high, then the Scorpion chest and up.

I'd go with the GB for backside because of the pintail. More responsive.

👍

Yes, pretty easy.to duck dive.

✌

👍

👍

I have a 9'6 and weigh about 165. I'm probably in the middle of what you're describing. Fun board to surf and catches lots of waves.

The sweet potato was probably the best groveler but nothing beats a bigger board (mid length) in soft, mushy surf. Depending on your height and weight. The 6'4 sweet potato rips like a short board but the 7'2 Walden Mega, 7'4 Scorpion and the 8'0 Aipa Big Brother Sting will catch the most waves.👍

👍

👍

Love it! Catches anything.

👍

👍

Fast!

👍

We are about the same size so I would go with the 6"10. I have no problem duck diving it and it is plenty maneuverable. Good luck!

Thanks heaps. Also, how does it go in large waves (head high or bit bigger)? Is it best in knee to waist?

@@gregoryhalls6626 Waist to head high is best for this board.

Walden 7'2 Mega Magic is my go to for knee to chest high waves. Anything head high and up I will go with the Greedy Beaver or the 7'4 Takayama Scorpion.

@@surfboarddemos Thanks for the board info. I'm starting to experiment with longer boards and it's opened up a whole new surf style for me. I'll have to check out the Mega Magic. I recognize your surfing background. I surf in the same spots so hopefully I'll see you out in the line up one day.

@@chrisa2827 👍

That's just my style. I trim to make sections on longer boards opposed to gyrating, so I move my feet closer to the nose. The Beaver has more pivot because of the tail and fin selection. The Sunday is more faster down the line. Hope that helps.

@@surfboarddemos Thanks a lot. Yeah, I prefer trimming on longer boards as well and wondered if the GB could do it well but you've shown it does. I appreciate your feedback - keep up the great content.

@@ChristianDarby-e8u 👍

Good board to learn on. The 8'0 Mega Magic would be an even better choice for a beginner.

Thank you my friend.👍

Hard to compare as the CJ at 10 feet has more volume than the ITP's that I have demoed. The CJ has more of a domed deck and a little more rocker than the ITP Also the tails are different.👍

Futures Mayhem Evil Twins👍

@@surfboarddemos nice. I made the mistake of using a trailer when I threw those in mine. The Sunday really doesn’t love a 2+1 with that tail and all that vee, yet it works as a single. Loved it with the big Merrick keels. Gracias.

@@biff022 I thought it rode fine with 2+1. Just faster as a twin th-cam.com/video/fuwkcQBfJvg/w-d-xo.html

@@surfboarddemos gotcha. I meant as a twin plus one it defeated the purpose of the twin. Probably just a feel vs expectation thing because I’m sure that center plus bites would work.

@@biff022 👍

Volcanic Repreve Lamination As the world's leading recycled fiber made from ocean-bound plastic bottles, Repreve is a sustainable innovation enabling Firewire to build strength and flex control into each Volcanic shape while simultaneously preventing plastic bottles from entering our ocean playground.

@@surfboarddemos Thank you. I meant from surfer’s point of view(look&feel, weight, flex, speed…etc) but thanks anyway.

@@stevenyao8660 Never ridden a regular Greedy Beaver volcanic, so can't compare.
