Hey! Love your review! I'm an intermediate 80kg and 182cm. The guys from the shop here in Bali suggested me the 5'11 34.4lt. What do you think? Thanks

I'm 5'10 220. Should I get the 6'2 or 6'0
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 4 years ago
If you're in between sizes, I always recommend going up. More size and volume is better for the vast majority of surfers!
Ryan The Rock

Would you choose this board or the Lost Psycho Killer?Also id be going for the identical dims for this board 6'2 x 21 x 2 7/8...how are the rails at this thickness?Big and boxy?

Hi Benny, great review, how does the Rocket Wide compare to the Puddle Jumper RP?
Geoff N Carmen Fleming
Geoff N Carmen Fleming - 5 years ago
Hey Benny, I just sold my V3 rocket 6ft 34.5 ltr. I loved the board but I need a little more volume and paddle- I'm looking at the Rocket Wide, Psycho Nitro and the Psycho Killer- I surf mostly beach breaks near Sydney from waist to head high and want a board that performs well in all of these. I am 85Kgs and want to stay around that 6ft length with about 36-37 ltrs- what would you recommend?

HI Benny,

Great review. Any thoughts on this vs the Pod Mod or the Pod? Or even the Pyzel Nugget?

Hey Sean, we've done reviews on the Pod and Pod Mod. Check em out!

Seems very similar to the lost short round, but with a swallow tale. Loved the short round, may try this one out.
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
Some similarities - fast and flat and nimble enough to throw around when it's smaller! Nice comparison Starvin Marvin and thanks for watching!

Im torn between the Rocket Wide and the Average Joe. Which is better for 1 to 3FT waves?
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
@ReddChicken Man It's a pleasure, enjoy!
ReddChicken Man
ReddChicken Man - 5 years ago
@CompareSurfboards.com yeah there are a lot of longboarders where i surf.i appreciate your response, we'll head down to some shops and check out an Average Joe! Thanks man!
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
I don't know the waves but it sounds like you want something for really small, weak, mushy. I think you'd be better off with the Average Joe or something similar!
ReddChicken Man
ReddChicken Man - 5 years ago
1 to 3 ft US, specifically Cowell's or San Onofre,San Clemente. So Flat/Mushy and 1-3FT usually. It's a bit hard working with mushy waves on my PE White Noiz.
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
Hey ReddChicken Man, is that 1-3 Aussie or US? And what wave type? Flat/mushy, steep/hollow, etc.?
Miguel Marquina
Miguel Marquina - 5 years ago
Good review, I would have liked to see different construction options like the spine Tex and different fin boxes like fcs 2 and maybe talk about the quads or even five fin options and what it felt like under your feet

Thanks for the feedback Miguel!

Hey Benny love the vids, please help me out! Looking for the easiest board to get air in small waves. Do you remember the Hayden merlot? Would you say that’s the best board you’ve tried for that in mind? Thanks!
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
Hey Kaleb, I can't speak from experience as I don't (can't) do airs...but the Haydenshapes Merlot does seem to be a favourite for punters. The CI Neckbeard, too...and now there is a Neckbeard 2!

Looks a lot like a PodMod with a more pulled in nose. I bet a set of AMT’s would be really fun in that board.

CompareSurfboards.com - 5 years ago
Will have to try those AMT's in the CI Rocket Wide Dthraco! Thanks for watching!

Great review as always. Keep them coming! Did you try it with twin fins? I remember that CI recommended twins with the original Rocket.

Thanks Ferdinand! I have not but I reckon these guys would work the treat:

CompareSurfboards.com yeh I was waiting for a coffee after a surf and thought it was you but didn’t want to be a creep shouting across the carpark at you, haha. Dont be too hard on yourself either mate, that was a pretty average day wave wise

Liking the look of this, how does it compare to the the js psycho nitro?

Hey Fishskulls, hadn't thought to compare them but pretty similar as far as wave range and fun factor goes!
