The BB3 checks all the boxes for a small wave performance board. 1. Good paddler 2. Quick get up and go speed 3. Projects with speed through maneuvers 4. Good drive off the bottom and big rail turns I struggled a bit with it in 1-2’ surf due to the HYFI construction feeling a bit heavy under foot. Both boards carried good speed but I felt they lacked the pop or X Factor from turn to turn in 1-2’ surf that I normally get out of a light weight stringerless EPS board. The weight factor is an easy fix… I would just custom order the BB3 in HYFI with a lighter glass job. Overall the performance of the BB3 was solid and I had a great time surfing it in 3-5’ surf. I liked the HYFI construction in bigger surf due the extra weight. The board was easy to get on rail with its low/medium rail design and somewhat heavier stock glass job. No noticeable chatter or vibration that I normally feel from other light weight EPS boards. I also want to mention that I rode 2 stock 5’7” boards with the exact same dimensions but one was a Swallow Tail and the other a Squash Tail. You have to watch the review to find out which one I liked better. Board DIMS: 5’7” x 19 ¼ x 2 ¼ Liters 26.1 Board Weight: 5.55 lbs Weight for most stock Stringerless EPS boards reviewed: 4.7 lbs – 5.0 lbs My height 5’9” My Weight: 160 lbs or 72.57 kg
Other than that, I think JS makes really good boards and I love their stringerless EPS ones. I think it's perfect for this board.

great review!
Both of my big toes get blood blisters from gripping the deck so I tape them to avoid the pain.

I really like how it looked under your feet though.. I thought it looked really smooth.
A few of my mates on the Goldy in Australia ride these boards and absolutely rip on them.
In fact as a model you don’t see many guys look bad on them (and they’re everywhere here), even if their surfing is at a lesser level.
Compare that to say something like the Hypto Krypto, where most guys who surfed them looked terrible.
To have most guys who surf your board look good style wise is obviously a real credit to the design and how easy it is to ride.
Great review as always.
