Super Stoked!!!!!
Cheers for the review Ben!!!
although this is a an older thread I hope to get a reply.
I just brought an js blakbox round tail. It is the 4th blakbox I own, but this one is a lemon. Normally I have a little more then 30l in these kind of boards. the round tail I brought is 31,3l in 5'11. I am 178cm and 80kg confident surfer ( 20 years experience 5 surfs per week) but not a ripper. the blakbox paddels nicely but I have a hard time to surf it top to bottom. It wants to surf in big eight, loves to generate speed that is to be burned in big gauges. But hitting the lip is hard!
I am looking for a board with the same range of waves (2-4ft+) for all conditions that paddels as or almost as good as the blakbox but is more reactivate.
1. Do you think the rare bird would be an alterative due to the narrower tail?
2.Or am I on the wrong track and need to look more for a monstabox / piripiri type of all-rounder?
3. Will I sacrifice a lot of wave count be switching the blakbox to a monstabox / piripiri type of board?
4. between monstabox and piripiri. what's your favourite?
thanks for your help!
Great review! I'm currently looking at 2 boards. The rare bird and the lost V3, what would you recommend? I'm currently riding the lost Rv for the small Sydney summer surf but am looking at something that I can get on its rails. I'm around 87kgs & 6'3 tall. I generally surf short board that are 5'11 or 6'0 ft long. What's the major difference between the rare bird and the v3? And what do you reckon would suit me best for Sydney northern bleachers surf?
Regards.

I ride the 5,11" Rare Bird and I love it. It's fast, as you mention, explosively fast:) And it feels very free and light on the feet. I surf it in Holland - beaches around Amsterdam, but also in the powerful surf of the Canary Islands. It's the best board ever and its durable too. Cheers!
Would you recommend this for a bigger guy (100kg), pretty fit (surf 5 days a week), mid to strong intermediate (linking turns in head high+), & lives in Sydney? I'm basically looking for my first performance short-board (i'm riding a fat and wide 40lt 6.0 with a really wide square tail). I'm not made of money so i'm after a board that will allow me to progress in better waves, while still working in most of the crud we surf around here for most of the year.
Is the rare bird too small, volume wise, and too limiting? How would you compare it to a hypto?
Love the reviews, BTW.
I am interested in buying a new board. I was looking for an all-rounder like the hypto krypto,rare bird, number 4... I am 6'4 and 95 kg. I would normally ride it during summer here in the Basque Country. My level is intermediate. Which volume and length do you think I should get?
Cheers and keep up the good work!!!
I am interested in buying either the rare bird or a hypto krypto for use on sydney's northern beaches.
I am an intermediate surfer and weigh 90kgs. I ride a 6'3 standard short board and want something a bit more fun and easier for the smaller everyday waves. I have been looking at 6'2 hypto as it has more litres than the same size rare bird. What are your thoughts on size and literage that I should be looking at ?
I'm thinking about getting this board to surf 1-3ft beachies over in Perth. I'm keen on the speed it has to offer but i'm a but worried i won't be able to get enough turn out the board especially in below average conditions. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on how this board goes in smaller conditions when it comes to your rail game.
Cheers!
Can you give me a board, i´d like to have one without the surf school.
If you can´t it isn´t bad.
And continue to do videos to explain and show more from surfboards
But i´m from Portugal :)

was wondering if the rare bird and cherry peppa would overlap to much?
just bought cherry peppa and thinking rare bird would compliment the cherry peppa.
Thanks.

Benny
cheers
Thanks for watching!
All the best,
Benny
PS: Great work on all the videos, they help so much on choosing surfboards
Back to fins, I have been surfing my Rare Bird as a quad with the FCS 2 'Performers' up front and the standard FCS 2 trailer fins. I think a nubster would work well with this setup. As a thruster, I've used just the Performers.
I've seen some other mates surfing some cool Futures setups, too. I'll add this detail to the Full Review (link in the description).
I hope this helps! Froth on!
Benny
I was almost going to get the Dropped Swallow but after talking to you i went fore the Bird and what a sweet decision that was, it goes like F#*k.
Cheers
G man

I'm interested in both the rare bird and also the #4. What do you think is the pick??? I will be using it from small waist high beach breaks to heat height. I prefer to ride as a thruster. Both look awesome and would live some feedback on which you think is better.
Between the two, I find the #4 more precise through turns, in steep drops, etc. and, if you're a bigger guy, there are higher volume models vs. the Rare Bird. The Rare Bird is really fast and lively and has a little bit more of that fun, flowy feel you might get from a performance fish. Still, the Rare Bird will handle steep and hollow.
It's a really tough call - two shades of grey and two great options. Click through to the full review in the description to read more about both the Rare Bird and the #4.
I hope this helps you and Happy New Year!

Benny
