Great board, very easy to surf and pretty loose, has quite a fishy feel. Rode it today in well overhead beach break. I have a 5'3 (32.4L) and I'm 5'11 (75kg) hope that helps someone!

im interested in this board but im not sure which size to get. i am still a beginner surfer, i can catch waves on a longboard or even a fish thats 7 ft. but i tried surfing a 5'8 al merrick new flyer (28.L) and i not only couldnt catch waves, but when i caught one i could not stand up at all. would the BP be better for someone like me? im 5'3 and i weigh 120 pounds. should i go for the 5'9?
Cheese Rincon
Cheese Rincon - 6 years ago
5’9 would be more volume than you need in my opinion. This board would help you transition to short boards for sure. I would go with a 5’3 or a 5’5. Any bigger and you’re not switching anything up or building skill on a shorter board. Just my opinion. & remember, surfing makes you better at surfing! So keep at it. Cheers

Hi Benny, love your reviews.
I'm looking at getting the 6.0 40.2L Potatonator with a quad fin set up... waves in NZ are mushy, 2-4foot east coast and 3-10foot west. I'm 6.0 and 92kgs. Do you think this is the right board for my sizing? Do you have a review on the potatonator also? Thanks mate.

Hi Benny.. Love what your doing mate.. Your reviews are magic and although i'm a little lighter I ride the same volumes as you so it's really good to see reviews that are relevant to people in our situation as not all boards scale up well.. Trying to work out your forum too that 's another great idea.. I was hoping to get you personal to quizz you on Potatos.. I have a 5'10" Sweet that I have had years and also a 5'9" baked I have had years and love the ride more than the Sweet. I have now pulled the trigger on a 6'1" Chumlee so i'm wondering if I should look at just having one spud and if maybe that should be the 5'11" now it's really gonna be for the smaller end of the wave range. Would love your thoughts.. Did you ever wish you had gone 5'9" in the spud or really love the 5'11" They are one board that acarrying an extra bit of volume isn't a big deal. I usually ride 38-40 in a hybrid/shortboard and 42-45 or even a bit up in a groveller.. Cheers Benny... I have heaps of boards and ridden heaps too so would be happy to get involved in your forums.

Hey !! Like always really good feedbacks. I m riding the lost v3 rocket in 6'1, i know you love this board too and so do I but i feel like it can t perform too well on tiny mushy condition that we have in SYndey quite a lot. You reckon that it s worth buying a baked potato having the Lost. Will I really take advantage of it compared to the lost ?

Hey, Benny! I am basically the same size as you (height and weight) and was wondering what size wetsuit you normally wear?

I'm getting the baked potato 5"1 and can you help me out with fins? I'm 5"9 115 lbs and they are futures fun boxes. Because of the wide tail I'm thinking quads but which ones?!
Bigg Squid

Hey Benny, great reviews. I'm in the market for a baked potato just unsure of the size. I'm 5'7" and 156 lbs (70.9k) and Ive been surfing for 2 years. I'm at the higher end of the beginner skill set and I currently ride a 6'x 19.87"x 2.37" and on small days(2'-3') im able to get a few rides in but not with out a lot of work. Last weekend I rented a sweet potato in a 5'2" and my wave count went up a bit and so did the quality of my rides. My problem is choosing between a 5'3" bp or a 5'5" bp. I want something I can get better and not something that feels like a yacht . Will that 2 inches and extra volume be that different?

@Benjamin Skovbo thanks mate. I'm 160 lbs and just grabbed a baked potato from a friend at a great price. It's a 5'5" and this makes me feel good that it's not too small. Rode it today and it's great
Benjamin Skovbo
Benjamin Skovbo - 9 years ago
Definitely go with the 5'3 you could even go 5'1! I'm 78 kgs and have both a 5'3 and a 5'1. With your weight the 5'5 would be way to boat ish to surf, go for the 5'3 for sure!

Im curious, even though is seems like a small thing, your leash plug, ive noticed, it is a little to your right and not centred. I havent seen it on baked potatos before until i bought my baked spud today.
Any idea why this is so???

6kunio8 - 9 years ago
Maybe because of the middle fin box? Not thick enough to accommodate both the box and the leash plug in the center.
CompareSurfboards.com
CompareSurfboards.com - 9 years ago
@Jimmawang Hey there, I wondered the same thing when I picked up Baked Potato for the first time. On a wide fish tail, a leash plug in the center can cause the leash to wrap around the fish tail but this shouldn't be a problem for the BP

Was looking forward to your review on the BP since seeing it on your IG feed.

I have had the sweet potato for 3 or 4 years and have loved the way it surfs subpar waves. I'm 75 kg and ride the 5'4. When the baked came out I picked one up as it is a more refined sp. I only rode it 4/5 the men's but knew I didn't like it from the first surf.

Why? I think the sp knows what it it, a true groveller, it doesn't try to hide it and it rides gutless surf really well. The bp tries to cross over and be more versatile, but as a result it losses its bottom end grovel gold. I'll always have a few boards in the car so if the conditions are bigger or better than I'm expecting, I'll use a different board.

I think firewire should have released the bp in the same sizes as the sp. In the bp I had to go the 5'5 because the 5'3 was too short and under vol. but the 5'5 felt way too big. I think a 5'4 at 33L would have worked, but I'm a sweet potato man.

I have a 5"2' Baked Potato and where I live (Sunshine Coast, QLD) I can surf it everyday of the year. I have it with the Matt Biolis ...Lost Seaworthy quads and it holds really well in anything under over head size surf. Perfect Board

I completely agree with you...sometimes had super fun surfs on it, other times not so much. The Potatonator was pretty fun though. You seen the new Firewire model, the "Cornice"? Really weird looking, but who knows, Dan Mann is a genius! I'm going to ask him about it when I see him next!
