DHD "Wilko F13" Surfboard Review by Noel Salas Ep.67

No obligation, but if you want to support the Site and keep the reviews coming you can donate here. https://www.paypal.me/surfnshow In this episode the folks at DHD send down two custom Wilko F13 surfboards for review. I test these boards in waves ranging from 1-2’ peaky beach break to 3-5’ point break. A couple unique attributes about this model is its flat deck and wide nose. The flat deck offers good flex and a lively feel under foot. The wide nose helps with paddling coupled with a staged rocker for incredible down the line speed. This board is fast, loose, and projects over sections very well. It has a generous sweet spot over the front foot and very user friendly. I highly recommend this board for intermediate to pro level surfers for waves ranging 1-4’. The Wilko F13 is a favorite of mine for 2018 and if this board is not on your radar then it should be. Board DIMS: EPS 5’7” x 19 x 2 3/16 liters 24.8 PU 5’7” x 19 x 2 ¼ liters 25.5. My Height: 5’9” Weight: 160 lbs or 72.57 kg

which do you reckon is a better-suited board for the intermediate surfer, surfing mostly soft 2-3 foot beach breaks, but can also go to 4-6 foot. Og flyer or Wilko F13

Hey Noel, how would you compare the Wilko F13 to the Phantom? Which is more user friendly and which is better suited to 2-5 ft? I’m an intermediate surfing at a point break that doesn’t get super steep
Toby Gibbons
Toby Gibbons - 5 years ago
Appreciate the feedback. I ended up going with the F13 because they had a good deal on at my local store and the flat deck/lower rocker profile appealed to me. Here’s hoping it goes as well for me as it did you! Thanks

Toby Gibbons Phantom is more user friendly... it paddles very well and you can still get performance turns.

Hi

I'm 1,85mts, 35 years old. Surfing since i was 17.

I usualy use 34 lts.

Following your advice, i have a CI 5'11'' rocket wide.

I'm about to order a new board to pair with it for a two board quiver. And replace a CI Rocket 9, 6'0".

I liked the wilko f13 model. Is it good for 3' to 6'/ 7' surf?

What size and volume do you suggest?

. Or should i go for other model?

It would be my 2 board quiver for all conditions. Head and 1/2 , DOH maximum.

Best regards

@Surf n Show Reviews for an intermediate which is better
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago
Luke Mitchell The Wilko F13 is more HP for sure. The F13 would be a Board I would compete with in 1-4’ surf. I think it’s easier to surf compared to the 3DV. The 3DV wants to go on rail too easy for a beginner.

The F13 looks similar to the Sampler model, right? Stage rocker, low entry rocker and low/medium exit rocker. Single to double concave, with vee in the tail. Do you feel diferentes?
IkoPB
IkoPB - 6 years ago
Surf n Show Reviews thanks a lot for your work and your answer!
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
IkoPB The F13 feels more high performance and has more traction off the bottom. The Sampler can get a little skittish in 4-5’ surf.

Ben Costantini - 6 years ago
Hey Noel. Nice review I’ve been digging your insights. Be keen to see your thoughts on this he new js Blak Box 3. Also most people just buy stock boards and playing with dims great for u but it’s not going to reflect what most people buy I think I should just keep it to stock dimensions.
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
Ben Costantini I think the BB3 looks insane.... I asked the folks at JS to please send it down for review and nothing yet. I think Stock DIMS are good and I try to stay with them as often as I can.

Hey Noel how much liters do u gain with EPS do u think? Is JS Hifi construction more boyant again?
Tim Blizzard
Tim Blizzard - 5 years ago
For me, surfing 6'8 47+ lt boards, I think it's roughly a litre or so, maybe 1.5.
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
krusher74 Thanks
krusher74
krusher74 - 6 years ago
if you look at simple physic 30 litres is 30 litres no matter what the material, the only buoyancy difference is weight, so if an 30L eps board was heavier than a 30L pu board it would be less buoyant. I think where this term "corky" (more buoyant) actually comes from is the feeling of more rebound spring that you get from un-stringered eps. So EPS isnt more buoyant its more springy.
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
Newy rat I would say you gain .5 liters more float with EPS. That’s on the HYFY, Carbon Wrap, Future Flex, C4, SpineTek, etc... all of these constructions are EPS (expanded polystyrene foam).
Tim Hall

Tim Hall Really???? What wave size? Daily Driver = Phantom or Holy Grail, Groveler = CI Rocket Wide Spinetek or Gremlin, HPSB = Driver or Fever.

Noel, really liked you posting the tail width, breaking down the double concave a little more and showing the foil, it's nice to set some parameters for me to try different combinations at the shaping room! Amazing review, stocked to watch it! I would like to watch some review on the MonstaBox too!!!

Hey Noel, would you say the f13 is more like the JS Monsta Box or Air 17x? Or what are your general thoughts about how the f13 compares to the others? I know lots of people have ridden the Monsta Box by now... Thanks! Enjoyed your review as always!
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
Chris Fan It’s more like the Air17X... excellent Performance in small waves.

It made it to the favs list? How does it compare to the MoonBeam in similar size waves? It seems like the MB is made out of sturdier stuff in terms of construction
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
Miguel Marquina This F13 is more HIgh Performance compared to the Moonbeam. The F13 is more similar to the JS Air17X... both boards are pro models for small wave ripping at the pro level but more user friendly than a HPSB with a lot of rocker.

The LFT construction on the Moonbeam is very durable compared to most EPS and PU boards.

That board looks great under your feet. Smooth in transition and electric off the top. Super fast snaps.
Up there with the best I’ve seen you look on a board, if not the best. Your style looks super relaxed. Board looks like it goes exactly where you want it to with little effort.
Great review as always.

Richard Embery The Freestone are going to be a little stiffer compared to the NEO Performers. The Medina’s are really stiff for me too.

Richard Embery - 6 years ago

How does the Neo Glass performer compare to the Jack Freestone generation series in feel? I rode the new Medina fins and they felt good in comparison to the Freestone. A bit stiffer though. The Freestone fins are my favourite 3 foot and under fin in Futures.

lightning lip turns, fast down the line and through the wraps, yet without the wiggle of many lightweight boards. Very enlightening about choosing fins to complement or counter rocker as well as conditions.

Erezdekel Erez123123 This second hand Board sounds good. At this point you need to try some lower liter boards and find what feels good for you at your skill level. I would get this used board and try it. Then we can go lower or higher in volume from there.
X -MAN X MAN
X -MAN X MAN - 6 years ago
@Surf n Show Reviews yes.its hard to turn.only on beach break in strong 2-3wave.the board has agood drive.how much liter you reacomend to get of? I see.6.0-35.9.
Second hand ..
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 6 years ago
Erezdekel Erez123123 How does your board feel at 37 liters? If it feels like your surfing in Slow Motion and the board is hard to turn then it’s too much volume.
