At first glance, I thought Al Merrick and Yadin Nicol's Weirdo Ripper was just another shorter, wider, fatter small wave board. But this board is much more. My 'go to' board on a recent Maldives trip, the CI Weirdo Ripper loves a clean, lined up face from waist high to well overhead. My only qualm about this board is that it just doesn't seem to get along with more average conditions.

Hey I'm getting a Weirdo Ripper 5'10*20*2 1/2 ,  3 fin set. I'm intermediate and looking for the best fins for this board. I'm 165 pounds so i need  medium fins. I was wondering if the  FCS PC AM-2 medium fins would be a good choice for this board? ,Witch fins do you recommend for this board ?

Hi Ben, heading over seas to surf some hollow waves, I plan on taking over my Lost RV for the not so hollow spots and smaller days, I also own a 5'10 weirdo ripper that I was considering taking over as my main board, I am considering buying a new board to take instead of  the weirdo ripper and cant decide between a v3 rocket or DHD skeleton key any thoughts? Feel like I could feel under gunned and to wild on the weirdo ripper if it gets around or over 6 feet or so

Could I pick your brain? I am 6'2 185 lbs, im looking at the 6'0 weirdo, do you think thats too much volume at 36?

Love the reviews Benny. I bought this board in the 5'11 x 20 1/2 x 2 9/16 dims after watching this review. Took it on a trip to the Central Attolls in the Maldives this year with a 6'8 JS Forget Me Not Pin tail as a step up. Ended up riding the WR the whole time, even in 4-5 foot barreling waves at Machines... Excellent paddle in but only started to feel the drag from the V when conditions got too fast for the little board, but excellent all rounder, felt solid in good waves. Only felt it want to skip in solid surf, otherwise a fun skatey feeling board. Has me reaching for the step up board less than I used to!

@Nigel Hill Awesome Nigel! It's a great little board, especially when the surf lines up.

If you don't mind, I'll add this great feedback as a review of the WR at CompareSurfboards.com so other surfers will benefit.

Cheers,
Benny

Try the Average Joe or Fishquit for smaller, choppier conditions. Or kitesurfing in windy conditions...LOL.

Hey there @user/Mw2megapro, small okay but mushy/onshore, not as much. In my experience, the Weirdo Ripper likes better, cleaner waves

Ben, nice work buddy. What size Weirdo do you have? And what is your height/weight? Trying to dial in my size: 43 years old, 165 lbs, surfing for 30 years. Thoughts?

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago
Hi there kit7873,

I ride the Weirdo Ripper at 6’2 x 21 3/8 x 2 3/4 @ 40.3L of volume and I am 6'0 and 110 kg's (~240 lbs).

Have you seen this guide to help you with sizing? http://bit.ly/knowyourvolume

Also, please see the full review of the WR here - http://bit.ly/WeirdoRipperReview - I include the dims I ride for every board I review!

I hope this helps you!

All the best,
Benny

You said that you don't recommend this board for mushy waves. Can you give me an example of how mushy? 2 foot mushy? 1 foot mushy?

CompareSurfboards.com - 10 years ago
Hi reefbreaksurfer,

Thanks for your question! I surfed the Weirdo Ripper in average (weak, onshore, not lined up, etc.) conditions from waist high to head high.

Does this answer your question?

Cheers,
Benny
