If you decide to buy somewhere else or would like to support the show, please donate at https://www.paypal.me/surfnshow In this review I test out two boards, one stock 5'5" and one custom 5'5". The Miscellaneous is designed for a 2+1 fin set up which uses Twin Fin sides with a small center trailing fin. The large Twin Fins give this board incredible speed and the small trailing fin offers hold and something to pivot off of. The first couple of days testing the stock board was a bit of a struggle due to the leash plug being placed in the center of the tail and not far back enough. The board had speed but it felt tight and my turns were not crisp as the nose of the board would catch and caused the board to bogg. After I figured out the problem with the leash plug I customized my traction pads on both boards by moving them back at least 2" so my back foot could sit over the center fin. This changed the performance of the board dramatically in a positive way. This adjustment allowed for more precise turns and a freedom for the board design to shine in 1-5' surf. In the end I had a great time on both boards and the Custom 5'5" allowed for more precision rail surfing in clean and textured surf. It paddled good and I liked that I could sink the rail quickly and hold bottom turns longer. The Stock 5'5" had more spray on my turns, paddled better and looked faster under my feet. With nearly 1 more liter in flotation the board still felt loose and responsive but maybe a little to on top of the water to keep the rail engaged in windy conditions. The Miscellaneous is a really fun board and I highly recommend it for Beginner/Intermediate - to Pro level surfers in 1-6' surf. I believe this model favors neutral and back footed surfers due to it's low exit rocker and down rail design. Board DIMS: Custom Checkered Board: 5'5" x 19 1/2 x 2 1/4 Liters 26.46 Stock Board: 5'5" x 19 5/8 x 2 5/16 Liters 27.37 My Height: 5'9" My Weight: 160 pounds or 72.57 kg

Noel since i have never surfed a multi fin board would you recommend me going with a twin, tri or a quad type fin set up ?
Surf n Show Reviews

Jody Blackwell Sounds good... experiment and have fun. Doesn’t matter how you surf. Just have a good time and try a bunch of setups.

@Surf n Show Reviews sounds good but i would like to experiment with a sorts of set ups i dont surf like you do with all those hard turns and roundhouse and off the lips you do i guess since i long board i will have to learn a new way of surfing and since i am 69 it will take me a bit longer to get into that style.

Hey noel, as usual i really enjoy your videos, i would like to hear ur opinion after having a blast on the sampler that you recommended, i want a small wave performance board, i typically surf weak waves on the 2 to 4 ft range, what would you pick out of the misc, holy grail or a js monsta box / blak box?

Hey Noel I know you did a review on the CI high five but I just got one and was wondering if a 2+1 setup only used a 2+1 once but when I did felt loose and springy wondering if it would work on the high five tho

Hey Noel, I cant work out what you mean by wave size. I think of a 3 foot wave as head height and a 6 foot wave as double over head. What’s your way of describing this in relation to your videos?
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago
David Sweeney For me 3’ is roughly shoulder high. 4’ is roughly head high and 5-6’ is over head.

Out of the boards youve reviwed, whats your least favorite surfboard of all time?
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago
AJ G Really??? Out of all the boards I reviewed and tested... the Rusty Chew Toy had the least wow factor for me. We ran it through the paces in good waves with a bunch of different fin set ups and it was just ok. Good turns in the pocket and solid off the bottom but no real X Factor in speed or drive. The board was just ok... I expected more. That’s all I got for you bro... we test boards from some of the best Shapers in the world.. so not many dogs.
Jose Lobo

Backpad pro tip is nuts! You should start doing short videos about Accessories tips and tricks and talk about all that crazy engineering you make. Like fin size combination (I have them like that because of your vids), pad thing, etc. I guess you know a lot more you haven't shared and must be very useful. Keep Ripping!
james williams
james williams - 5 years ago
Hey man another great review!!
I found it interesting that this board steered away from the typical double concave/vee off the tail. And it still seemed to go rail to really nice...

Neckbeard 2 is another straight single convave, wide small wave board that seemed to go well.

Cheer!! From the sunshine coast aus.

Channel Islands just came out with their new high-performance 'happy" shape based on a hand-shape Britt made for Dane and refined over the past 4 yrs with input from their team surfers. I'm interested in the new futures fins lightbox. I would like to know if the performance difference can be felt with this new fin box. Futures is doing very good now with representation from John Florence and Italo Ferreira (he just won both the air show and the WCT event at Duranbah).
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago
UniqueStranger Not sure about all that... sorry.
UniqueStranger
UniqueStranger - 5 years ago
@Surf n Show Reviews I remember posting a comment on a previous review about reviewing the Channel Islands model for Igarashi. However, he left the team soon after I posted that comment and joined the Sharp Eye team. I want to know what happened to that model. I read that they were only selling it in Japan, but I don't know if Channel Islands is producing any more of those shapes. Igarashi seems to be doing well with Sharp Eye shapes. Maybe he'll get his own model with them.

Great review Noel, It was really cool you figured out the pad needed to be further back.
Viet Tran
Viet Tran - 5 years ago
Love your descriptions on fins and influence on board performance. What would you recommend on a wide tail board like a Lost Weekend Warrior. I've tried different thruster and quad setups with medium and large sizes. Board has a ton of speed but is a bit "Tracky". I'll have to move the traction pad like you did and surf off the tail more. Thanks
Viet Tran
Viet Tran - 5 years ago
Thanks !@Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews
Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago
Viet Tran Try a more upright fin with that wide tail. That will get it on rail easier and keep it on rail trough your turns. I like the Reactors in FCSII or the HS1 Generation in Futures.

Brendan Penny I rode the CI Fish for two days in perfect 2-4’ surf and it did not go good. The board was fast but not very forgiving as the nose bogged in every turn. I tried to make that board go good but it was a struggle. Sorry not a fan of the CI Fish.

The Misc is more performance in the pocket compared to the Seaside. The Seaside is faster down the line and grovels better. Both boards are sick!!!
