Loving these videos, I have just bought the 6.0 seaside. I surf sloppy European beach breaks mostly and have only used it 3 times but it seems to love the slop! I'm very happy with it so far and I am picking up some nice techniques from your vids, nice one :).
Hey Thomye ! Love your videos and reviews that are always on point ! I bought a 6.8 sunday thanks to your review and it’s a great board ! Do you think a 5.4 seaside is the way to go for me at 72 kilos and 183cm ? Intermediate/ advanced level, not enough regularity in my manoeuvers to say advanced. Thank you very much Thomye
thanks brotha, appreciate it. I would say 5'5. You are much taller than me, I'm 172cm roughly. Also, I'm 65kg and my grovel size of the Seaside is 5'3. I can ride the 5'2 but my waves are a tad softer. When waves get smaller/softer, width helps with planing. I think you could easily handle the 5'4 in terms of volume but then the rail line becomes too short. Mathematically, my ratio is .4431 kg to liters. If you were to surf your seaside exactly at the same ratio as me, it would be .4431 X 72 which is 31.9 liters. That is pretty close to the 5'5 which is 31.5 I believe. One thing to be mindful of. if you waves are soft generally speaking, 5'5. if it is small and punchy, you could go 5'4. I think if I surfed a better punchier break, I would opt for a 5'2 stock vs my 5'3. Make sure to paddle the board over the nose. The board has this feeling of pushing water but it's because most people paddle the board too far back.
I'm 172cm and about 66kg. I ride the 5'3 which is 28.2L and the Seaside is Helium construction. I mention the Helium construction because compared to PU and other boards, it is light weight and very buoyant. Anyways, my volume to weight ratio is about .4272 so a good starting point for you would be around .45. I would say about 35L. I would start with the 5'8. One word of caution. Intermediate level is a very broad range. someone could be advanced at paddling, timing, and catching waves but an intermediate surfer. They could be good at down the line surfing but poor at maneuvers. So please take my recommendation with caution. I can't perfectly size the board for you but give you a decent starting point. My best friend is also 80kg but he is a really strong paddler and also an intermediate surfer. He surfs the 5'7. But he is 2x better at paddling than me because he is so strong. The board will surf well for your weight and height. it will be very stable. 5'5 and 5'6 seem a little short to me. volume is only one aspect. You are 15cm taller than me. A board that is too short could hurt your style and progression. Hope that makes sense.
the 5'4 rail line is better for a slightly drawn out turn but the 5'3 volume and width is better for suring. They both surprisingly surf good but I think as the wave gets bigger, better, steeper, the 5'4 loses its magic quicker. so in most of my surf conditions, I would pick the 5'3. but if Rob released a 5'6 that was 1.5" narrower and came in around 28L, i'd probably go with that. :)

awesome. I'll be putting out 3rd turns video soon. so stay tuned. :)
@@ThomyeSurfs Sweet, I will do. Keep up the good work bud.
Hey Thomye !
Love your videos and reviews that are always on point !
I bought a 6.8 sunday thanks to your review and it’s a great board !
Do you think a 5.4 seaside is the way to go for me at 72 kilos and 183cm ?
Intermediate/ advanced level, not enough regularity in my manoeuvers to say advanced.
Thank you very much Thomye
thanks brotha, appreciate it.

I’ll go 5.5 then !
The waves I surf are soft too.
Thanks again :)
i am 187cm , 77kg intermediate surfer in south korea. size recommendation plz!! i consider 5.5 , 5.6 ??
I'm 172cm and about 66kg. I ride the 5'3 which is 28.2L and the Seaside is Helium construction.

thank you for your advice!!
Which one suits you better? 503 or 504?
the 5'4 rail line is better for a slightly drawn out turn but the 5'3 volume and width is better for suring. They both surprisingly surf good but I think as the wave gets bigger, better, steeper, the 5'4 loses its magic quicker. so in most of my surf conditions, I would pick the 5'3. but if Rob released a 5'6 that was 1.5" narrower and came in around 28L, i'd probably go with that. :)
Was the 5'4 seaside hard to duckdive for your weight?
No, not at all. I'm currently riding a 6'0 Sunday and that thing is 38 Liters. I think 38 liters is about my limit for an OK duck dive.
