That's crazy. I used to work at Clark Foam back in the early 2000's and we'd occasionally drop off blanks at T&C because a few of their shapers refused to shape with Buford blanks because they'd pressure dent super easy and didn't like that they used plywood stringers and now they're making super solid blanks. Glad to hear they stepped up their game. I was thinking of getting this in epoxy but now I'm not sure because I plan on using the board in head high+ waves and I prefer the feel of a PU in bigger waves.

Another skimboard with fins. Having some length in your boards is a good thing.
@larrydowling52133 күн бұрын
You know, I think you guys do a huge disservice to surfing by playing this volume game. These shorter boards are not for your average surfer, no matter their skill level. Just Slater in the 90s, we were all riding boards to narrow. These short boards look like skimboards with fins. When you don't have balance and some length, it changes the planing area. Kinda like a bass boat and how in plane it only uses about a foot of the boat contacting the water vs a cigarette boat that has more planing area. Length gives you more flow, more control on bottom turns. I ride 7ft boards and I found they ride and perform as good as these shorties Bec of the tail. Wide tail, stiffer board, pin tail looser. These stubbies short boards need a lot of speed which is not always easy to use obtain. This board seems to fit Sal well, he isn't checking up his bottom turns. Find what fits you and your style. Don't buy a board Bec of what someone's else is riding.

If your home break waves are fast and hollow when they are overhead then you might want a board with a little more rocker CI Pro 2.

On the smaller boards you had to stay above the board in your turns but on the 5'7 you could lay into it and push harder without blowing out the tail.

hi guys would love to see a T&C 'after burner' nodel review.... no T&C in this channel i believe and the after burner looks interesting. BTW, I swear i already posted this comment. was it moderated? if yes why? 10x
I just reached out to the folks at T&C and they are sending in the Nomad for review. We are stoked to start getting their sleds on our show for review. I will check out the After Burner. Cheers
@@surfnshowreviews7777 10x for the reply, indeed widening the board brands would be nice... i do not know the nomad but it looks like the after burner stacks up to a very popular category - the 'HP SB Wide' as ben gravy names it. so its similar to the likes of CI 2 happy, lost PJ pro, rusty SD maybe etc.... all of which you probably reviewed and so comparissons can be done...
Top notch this cheers 👌🙏🏼👍🏼
Ok. So I paid the 5 bucks and want to watch the How to surf better series. How do I cut through the bullshit and watch it? Patreon wants me to pay another 5 bucks 🤷♀
Shoot me a email… we will get you sorted out. [email protected]
Best board reviews out there can’t stand all these KZreadrs that suck at surfing and don’t understand the dynamics of a board you shred and give one hell of a review wrapping cut backs on the MR looked sick

I have to agree that your surfing looked better on the 5'7 with more volume. On the smaller boards you had to stay above the board in your turns but on the 5'7 you could lay into it and push harder without blowing out the tail. Great review and it's too bad they no longer carry this model for Slater Designs but if I find one out there I'll make sure to get one that's 34L as opposed to 32-33.5 that I usually ride.
I was curious if you ever tried the lost seaworthy or lost split keel. How do they compare to seaside quad? does the split keel pivot as well?
The Split Keel is fast and pivots okay for me…. They are a bit tracky. Meaning…. They like to go straight fast but hard to break off that straight line to do turns.
