Both boards are set with 5 fin options and I put them through the paces in 1-6’ surf. Even though the Ultra Joe is made for 1-4’ surf I like to find the top end on these type of Grovelers and it held it’s own even in overhead surf. After thorough testing as a Thruster, Quad, and Twin Fin with a small trailer (2+1) I liked it best as a Quad. The Quad set up carried the most speed and flow from turn to turn. I also liked how the tail had a little more release in my turns due to no center fin. I also really enjoyed the Ultra Joe with a 2+1 set up. The Twin Fins gave this board exceptional speed and I had control with the small trailer fin. The Ultra Joe is a favorite of mine for 2019 in the Groveler category and I highly recommend it. This board suits all level of surfers for maximum fun… beginner – expert surfers will love this little board. Ideal wave size 1-4’.

Great review on the Ultra Joe. Looking forward to seeing a review on the new CI Happy. I demo’d it and loved it.
Keep up the good work,

I have been riding more n more Quads lately. The speed and freeness in Tail is so fun. I like a Pivot set though like the Reactors so I can still get vertical especially in low rocker boards. I will Ride Quads at the point breaks in 1-6’ surf and have a blast. If the surf is a bit choppy then I switch to a Thruster for a little extra control.
I hope this helps. If your looking to get a good upright Pivot Quad set in Futures then check out the HS1 with HS Quad Rears. Yewwww

Great review what’s you pick - PJHP or Ultra Joe in PU?
Thanks mate
PodMod or Sampler or Ultra Joe?
Al 3 of the boards your asking about are epic! I would go PM or UJ for a Groveler. For a SWPB I would go RW or NB2. I say go to your local shop and feel these 4 boards up and buy the one that feels the best under your arm. Go with your gut. All of these boards are favorites of mine so you are going to be stoked no matter what. Cheers
If you can get your hands on a 5’1” Evo in either LFT or Helium I think you’d be pretty stoked - would be a worthy addition to the groveler review category. I was a little skeptical of the Helium tech, and honestly think LFT has a little more spice right out of the gate, but Helium may have won me over. I know it’s not the new kid on the block, but the Evo really blows my mind in small surf and continues to perform in head high+ conditions - I’d love to see you blow the back out of a few on one!

- does the ultraJoe have a more performance outline than the Biscuit? I mean...more entry and mid rocker?
- Do you use your iwatch while surfing? If so, What’s app u use to track waves/speed/etc?
Thanks mate
I don’t use my watch for surf.... I tried one app for a while but I have so much stuff going on in my head and under my feet with board and fin design it can all get a bit overwhelming. Sorry
Keep making vid there amazing!!!
Twinny with Fangs Hooked It.

Totally get your explanation of not increasing volume for groveler board to align with shaper design. But wouldn’t the extra liters get you into waves better in smaller surf? Or is it that those waves may not be worth getting into?
If you just want to have fun and catch a bunch of waves then get a bigger board and cruise.
