Finally a series that helps explain all this more! I work at a surf shop in Florida and have tried to a lot of the same things to customers all the time! Very well done! I will be sending a lot of people to check these videos out!
All fascinating. Another point I wanted to add. I have tried so many different boards shapes and sizes that I never knew what parts were working or not. I had to go to a specific thruster then work down in litters now that pumping, speed generation, and turns are much more uniformed.its only now that I can pick aspects apart and truly enjoy different boards and find sweet spots to make them perform. Love the series guys. Looking forward to next season 😎🤙🏼
Sweet series. Try more brands/shapers, you say?!…curious to know how you would like the feel of the FW i-bolic FRK vs Lightspeed Driver. also, would still like to see mid-length reviews. much thanks! God bless.
Great series. Had not realised how laser focused pros become on their boards without trying other things. Season 2 could be an exploration of twins and quads in different shapes and sizes. Christenson long phish and nautilus. CI Mid Twin. Album has a few options. Maybe even through in a asymmetrical board. Brett is an amazing surfer and it would be interesting how he would go. Could even be quad month where he only rides quads for month and reviews a few. Great series.
I think it’s easier to use liters as a gage than it is to use dims. Like you said, 2”s for one shaper isn’t necessarily 2”’s for another always. Not sure why it isn’t, but it makes a difference. Hopefully when they give liters it’s a bit more accurate a form of measure. I have 2 RNF96’s, poly and eps, eps slightly smaller cause everyone says, “EPS floats more”. Well that damn one liter difference makes a huge difference. I would’ve sized it the same as my poly, an inch bigger. Not sure it feels exactly less floaty per se, though technically it is, but that one inch less in rail line made it slower with the same fin setup, and I had to drop about an entire inch off my fin depth to lose drag without that one inch in extra rail line. They feel like two different boards. I ride the small one as a thruster with medium fins and the bigger one with a large 2+ trailer. At first I thought it was just that I didn’t dig eps, but after I was forced to change fins, even though the exact same fins work on the exact same board in poly one measly inch bigger, I was digging the sort of snappy rebound from carbon mach-stringer. I was looking at a puddle jumper pro, thinking what your guy said here, size up since sizing my last eps down wasn’t necessarily good despite eps being, “more floaty”. 🙄
That is a loaded question, so this will be an oversimplification. But generally, thrusters are better for ripping tight turns, quads are better for creating more speed and holding a line. That's not to say though that thrusters aren't fast, and quads can't turn. There's obviously tons of variation within that, and instances where that is not right, but that's the basic difference.

also, would still like to see mid-length reviews.
much thanks! God bless.
Sweet content! How much does Brett weigh?
It's a great time to be a surfer...so many options.

what wave is that on 10,26 minutes in the video? and the board?
That was a random sandbar during a hurricane swell on Cape Hatteras, he is riding the AJW OG Potato Launcher. That wave is mental!!
So much knowledge ! Lt is a TOOL ONLY !!! You must look at all aspects of the board and the lt instead on Lt and than all board aspects !!!
So what's the difference in thrusters vs quads?
That is a loaded question, so this will be an oversimplification. But generally, thrusters are better for ripping tight turns, quads are better for creating more speed and holding a line. That's not to say though that thrusters aren't fast, and quads can't turn. There's obviously tons of variation within that, and instances where that is not right, but that's the basic difference.
Yay 🎉
18.75 is wide? 😂😂😂 That made me feel old and fat.
Ride some CC boards.
