    I've seen milion people snaking in my life.... i think is difficult to point it out... many guys do it and don't understand it is not nice... however sometimes it is hard to tell who's making the mistake like the caise of the 2 guys on the converging wave...

    I haven't surfed the HE, but I have surfed the fever and ci2.pro. I like the red tiger more as an all rounder, because it felt more forgiving and smooth, but very high performance still. The Ci 2.Pro would be more choice if it was bigger and pumping

    Does anyone remember the Aquatoy board from the early eighties ? Was sort of brittle polystyrene but had a metal stringer thru the board and fins . Chick surfer here that got scared of some of the heavier glass boards and had all ball on those boards - they broke pretty quickly and weren’t cheap but what fun !

    Ive ridden pretty much the same boards as you over the past few years, seaside, go fish, glazer plus too fish. I dont know what it is about firewires but they're just not working for me anymore so im going back to lost shapes. I've had a custom rad ripper made as didn't want to ride a stock long thin version. Mine is 5'4 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/8 in lightspeed. I honestly cant wait till it turns up next week. Going to be my summer board here in the UK. I hope it paddles just as well as some of those wider/shorter firewires. Be interested to know if you prefer it as a thruster or quad.

  • @TheSurfersJourney

    I have only surfed it as a thruster, and I love it, so I won't be trying it as a quad. Great choice mate, after a small adjustment period I couldn't get off of it!

    Hey Ryan, I've been thinking of grabbing one of these for a while now and think I'm going to pull the trigger on one for my birthday later this year. I like that you've compared it to the seaside in this clip as thats one of my current (and favourite) boards, recently picking up my 2nd dropping from a 6'0 down to a 5'6 and absolutely loving the boost in performance dropping down has given me. I've been tossing up which size plasmic to order as the 5'4 comes in bang on the seasides litres or the 5'5 with that little extra float. As someone who's ridden both would it be worth going up that extra litre or just sticking with my current volume? I'll most likely be opting for a PU as some of those resin tints look amazing. Keep the clips coming.

  • @TheSurfersJourney
    @TheSurfersJourney2 ай бұрын

    Thanks for sharing that mate, stoked that you like the Seaside and the volume drop has helped! I think go the 5'5, I had the 5'2 and it sat around 30.5L, which was 4L more than the Seaside. I definitely could have gone the 5'0, but it still would have had more volume than the Seaside which is a good thing I think. Does that help? Good luck, it is a sick board. Use uprights also 👍

  • @brentontaylor9191
    @brentontaylor91912 ай бұрын

    @@TheSurfersJourney Thanks mate, it definitely helps. I had a look at one in a local shop at Phillip Island and was told the shapers Asher Pacey fins were a pretty good combo with the board. I rode my 6'0 seaside with a set of MRs earlier in the year and ever since I've been looking at getting a twinny. Down sizing my quiver has just been opportunistic recently took a chance on an ex demo 5'6 glazer, which I also had in 6'0 though when I bought them I was over 20kgs heavier so recently the bigger boards started to feel boaty. First sessions both new boards clicked instantly. I'm glad I did because I was initially looking at the plasmic in a larger size, and considering the price point I really wanted to get it right. I'll let you know how I go.

    It depends on your height, but no, I get most of my clients on 8'0, but a 7'6 would be fine too. How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
