Lost sent two stock 5’5” surfboards down for review. Both boards are the exact same dimensions with PU Foam and polyester resin. One board has green Mayhem logos with Futures fin boxes that I surfed only as a Thruster and the other board has blue Mayhem logos with FCSII fin boxes that I surfed only as a Quad. The Rad Ripper is a great paddler and has great down the line speed due to its low rocker design. The outline has that 80’s retro vibe to it with a flat deck, beak nose, and wide tail. The somewhat aggressive tail rocker allows for good traction off the bottom for performance surfing in the pocket. At times my struggles with the design was stepping past the sweet spot with my front foot being too far forward causing the board to bog in the nose area. Making subtle adjustments to my stance really helped get clean precise turns and increase drive. After two weeks of testing in perfect point break surf I struggled to surf the Rad Ripper smoothly as a Thruster. Switching to a quad set up really increased flow from rail to rail and I started to gel with the Rad Ripper. The more I surfed it the better it felt and at the end of two weeks I was sorry for the review to be over. I recommend the Rad Ripper as a one board quiver for intermediate to pro level surfers for 1-5’ surf. I liked this model best as a Quad and my fin suggestions are below. Stock Board Dimensions: 5’5” x 18.75 x 2.27 Liters 26 Recommended Fins: Futures Fins: JJF Side Fins with HS Quad Rears FCSII: Performer Side fins with Reactor Quad Rears My Height: 5’9” My weight: 160 lb or 72.57 kg

I'm looking for my first shortboard and I'm really stuck since there are so many options. I need something 6.2" or under and with a minimum of 41 litres, so a shortboard that can still support me and thats fairly easy to paddle on. Any recommendations? ill take all the help i can get

Hey Noel! Great review as always. I was wondering if you’re planning on doing more grom reviews such as the Super Grom by Pyzel. It would be really awesome as I have been thinking about getting it for a while now. Thanks again! You are the best surfboard reviewer on YouTube.

Great Review !

Did you like Pyzel phantom better than this board?

which did you think was quicker off the mark out of the 2
jacko inthebox
jacko inthebox - 4 years ago
Thanks heaps !
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 4 years ago
jacko inthebox I like the Phantom better, but it’s best in 3-7’ surf.

The RR has more get up and go and best in 1-5’ surf. You can have both boards in your quiver and not have much overlap. I would shred the RR in 1-3’ surf and then switch to the Phantom for 4-7’ surf.

Noel, have you ever tried the Nubster fin with quad sets? Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you have ridden it before I pull the trigger on buying one.
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 4 years ago
Bobby Harmston Absolutely... the Nubster really helps with control on a Quad. Quads are really fast and offer good release and sometimes it’s herd to control that speed due to a little slide without that little center fin. Put in a Nubster and you have speed, control, and a tad more pivot with confidence. Nubsters are needed when the waves have a bit more speed and power, or if your riding a really wide tail board as a Quad and you want to control the slide or release.

Hey Noel
What would be the FCS2 equivalent of the futures thruster fins you rode

Luke Mitchell Not sure there is one... closest one is probably the Al Merrick fins.

Noel great review! Maybe an R4 in the back? Or F8s + F6
JorgeAndresCoppiano.

Surf n Show Reviews yeah Pivots maybe better. And your 2+1. You look rad when you ride them. Let us now how they work for you
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 4 years ago
JorgeAndresCoppiano. I had the R8 side and R6 in back as Thruster. Maybe the Legacy P8 would have gone better too
JorgeAndresCoppiano.
JorgeAndresCoppiano. - 4 years ago
Surf n Show Reviews sorry I missed to say, as a Thruster:
- R8 sides (large), R4 rear (small)
- F8 sides (large), F6 rear (mid)

Can you do your ideal 3 board quiver for 2019 going into 2020, including all the accessories you would choose for each board (fins, traction, etc). More or less let me know what you would be shoving into your bag to go to "Insert Surf Locale Here"
