7'3 Sunday. More pivot and slide beneath your back foot in weak waves. The Sunday feels better in slightly more powerful waves for drive and turns on rail.

So random i have a similar board bout to get glassed. Single plus twin set up

It always amazes me in all order of industries and activities from music to sports. Some struggle to get their hands on the most basic equipment to begin to try to learn due to a lack of monetary resources and access to those and others have much much more than they need or could even use. Guys in Africa trying to learn to surf, deal and learn with fixed broken boards and others have dozens on their garage that probably do not use. Didn't the material to make anything on Earth came from The Earth and FREELY Given? :/

Just a small question? When you store your boards on your surfboard racks; why put them on the nose of the board , instead of the tail; which would be more solid I think.

@c_dubbzz6127

3 жыл бұрын

Because the tail of the board is more important than the tip of the nose. Over time the glass can crack from it standing up and nose is easier to repair and less important.

Does it hold well in head + surf? Does it have HP elements like seaside?

@firewiresurfboards

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it does. Especially with big keel fins. But the Seaside and the Seaside and Beyond both have a higher range because of how thin the tail is in the back 12 inches of the board. If you're dialing in for really pumping surf, err on the side of Seaside and Beyond.

🇧🇷🇧🇷

Is it normal to store boards nose down? Never seen that before...

@KC-ro9ro

ive been told to always do that because the tail is the most important part and every repair has the potential to change how it surfs while the nose barely changes anything so it is much easier to fix
