I’m never ridden the Rasta fins, but I’d like to try them in the future for sure.

A good reliable set of fins mate. Can’t go wrong with them.

@ agreed

Thanks mate, I weigh around 70kg

@@ryantherock7664 The RNF in my opinion over The Cali Twin. It paddles better.

Thanks Zeev 👍

Hey mate, you are right about sizing difference. However, even with sizing, the RNF 96 feels better than the BV2 from Chilli.

The 5’7 would be perfect. If you’re unsure, go a bit bigger if you’re buying it new.

Thanks mate, Neal Purchase is absolutely a legend. I’m Keen to check out a couple more boards of his in the future.

@@jakesboardreviews I'm keen to watch more videos 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I’d love to try one in the future. I haven’t ridden the first one yet.

It’s an unbelievable board. Definitely in the top 2 boards I’ve ridden in my lifetime. That’s what I love about The RNF Redux, you can rip into it as you would with a normal thruster. Old foam makes small wave surfing difficult, after too much yellowing, it doesn’t carry the same drive in weaker waves. Glad you’re enjoying it mate 👍

@@nicholasbarszcz1100 at the time around 66 kg I think.

@@Henry46444 The JS Boards are definitely more durable.

@@jakesboardreviews Thanks Jake. I’ve had a couple of CI boards looking about 10 years old after only 6 months recently, so I’m thinking of switching to JS. Do JS use different blanks? Or is it different resin/fiberglass cloth?

@@arlo1993-n1c I didn’t ride it enough to get a full verdict, but it felt alive and not too on top of the water. If I purchased it, I would go it in a PU construction, as I prefer PU’s generally. It’s a great board nonetheless if that helps.

Apologies for the late response mate, as you said, great board. I agree, you definitely don’t feel like the board lacks hold. It’s a great daily driver and a fun craft to ride.

@@aaron.monson_surf Thanks mate, that’s my first impressions of the board. Full review will be coming shortly 👍

@@JLi-iu2id Hey mate, this is an old model from the early mid 2000’s. It’s called The JS Fat Fish. I would categorise this board as an all rounder. It’s Something that works from waist to slightly overhead waves, due to its rocker & fish/ swallow tail if that helps.

@@jakesboardreviews thank you 🙏

@@michaelmcnamara8835 Either the FCS 2 Performers or Accelerators. I prefer the accelerators personally however.

I’ll try check out the Medinas. To be honest, you can’t go wrong with The Kolohe’s. I ride a medium set, and they just work. They have Enough hold, and also good release and drive. Try them for your quiver killer if that helps.

The Xero Gravity is a lot better 100%

Hey mate, I would say the Xero Gravity is less bulky in the tail, however, it doesn’t paddle as well as the Inferno 72 in my opinion. Both aren’t my boards of choice to recommend from either shaper if that helps.

@@jakesboardreviewsthanks for the reply! What would you recommend then?

@@jordz627 Hey mate, this is the Chilli Peri Peri Model. As long as it’s 2ft plus, you can ride it in most conditions up to 5 ft

@@Bethanyluvshorses I haven’t ridden the Machado Seaside yet, so I can’t compare the two.

@@Dicko301 I always wanted to try it as a quad. Super fun board, and it works great. I’ll have to try it as a quad in the future, thanks heaps mate 👍

@@tezf6883 Legendary mate, thanks for the setup tips 👍

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.

@@jakesboardreviews thank💙

Hey mate, I purchased this board as I enjoyed riding The V3 Rocket previously, and always wanted to try the Rocket Redux. I felt the board lacked the drive I was looking for, and control. However, I didn’t feel hindered performance wise in steeper sections. Not my favourite board I’ve reviewed so far, but I’d still give it another crack

@@adamdagan8065 Hey mate, I would personally say the Inferno 72.

@@GuilhermeSantos-jd2bn Thanks mate, I appreciate the support 🙏

No it’s how polyester surfboards look after a long time. Even some epoxy’s will look like that too. It used to be white.

@@whycantibeegg 😂

@@bigben007ch Hey mate, I weigh roughly around 70 kgs. In regard to volume, If I purchased an RNF 96 new, I’d most likely buy one with more length. I had the RNF Redux, which is still my favourite board to date. It was a stock 5’5 19 1/4 x 2 1/4 at 27 L, and that was perfect. I personally wouldn’t buy the RNF 96 in a 5’3, as a believe length is your friend. However, my performance didn’t feel hindered if that helps.

@@jakesboardreviews thanks a lot, that is really helpful! I weight the same. I'll head to my local Surfshop and grab the stock one (at a sale price :-) I saw this week.

@@bigben007ch Good on you mate, definitely worth grabbing if it’s on sale. Let me know how it goes for you.

@@IPHMLAMIL Hey mate, I’m roughly 5’11 at 70 kgs.

I’m just about the same as you. But I wear 4/3mm wet suite. I’m on the fence. For the board’s width, I might go with the 5’11. You ride Medium fins, right? All the best, from Portugal

Legend mate, I appreciate it, you’re spot on. Criticism is inevitable in any field of work and life. I Appreciate the support mate 👍
