This video is about JS Surfboards Monsta Box in the hyfi construction. JS calls the Monsta Box their Daily Driver for those 2-4+ days which would be in between your high performance surfboard Monsta 6 and small wave Groveler Blak Box 2. The hyfi construction has a patent pending for its unique construction process. It has a Epoxy Stringer less core that has incredible flexibility coupled with JS's new carbon Diamond construction. The White Diamond shape mesh on the bottom of this board a Polypropylene (synthetic plastic mesh) and this combined with Carbon strips give this board the right flex and tension This board felt really good under my feet. I liked how it loaded on my bottom turns as it projected me into my desired turn with incredible speed. The construction felt similar to that of a PU/Poly in small waves but it is lighter and stronger. The board was really fast down the line and very responsive in and out of my turns. The Monsta Box in the hyfi construction is a winner and I highly recommend this board as a daily driver for waves in the 2-4+ range. Super fun, fast, light and durable. Here is what the JS website has to say about the Monsta Box hyfi: MONSTA BOX HYFI HYFI’s enhanced flex and mind-blowing speed combines with the Monsta Box’s versatility to create a board that flies down the line, springs through turns, and can be surfed in everything from average, everyday grovels to the most fun sessions you can imagine. One of our most well received hybrid models ever, the Monsta Box is a blend of our two global favourites – the Monsta 6 and Blak Box 2. The result is an outline that hides a surprising amount of area for ease of paddling and generating speed, yet maintains a responsive, high performance feel thanks to its perfectly balanced entry and exit rockers. With a lot of the most fun R&D you could imagine under the team’s belt, from Hawaii to the Gold Coast, Mikey summed-up the HYFI Monsta Box perfectly: “On smaller days I hardly ever veer away from surfing it – even if the waves suck it hasn't let me down and in better surf or contests it still has that spark you need to go as hard as you want.”
That’s my two cents on each tech... they all pressure dent the same and when touring them they will suck water in. Fix them all quickly.

Im getting a CI twin for smaller O side stuff after your review of that. I'll need a winter board for returning to blacks where I grew up.

I recommend the Tomo SKX or the JS Air 17 for waves in 2-6+. If you surf bigger waves then this then I need to know how big the waves get and what kind of wave.... point break, beach break????

Thank you
However the HYFI technology is epic and so is the Flexbar Tech. You can't go wrong with either board and constructions. I wish I had more info on the BB2 for you. The Sampler is one of my favorites for sure. Let me know what you get and it goes for you! Cheers
Thanks
thanks

Thanks again.
Can you get hifi in custom dimensions?

Great as Always
Super Responsible Daily driver Sounds like Nissan Maxima today for me Good Day mate Teacher
I think the real comparison is between the Monsta Box HYFI and the Fever Flexbar. Both good performance boards. The HYFI construction is roughly $100.00 less.
Since summers approaching and I'm moving back to Long Island from Hawaii I been looking more into the short grovelers, def the superbrand superflex fling and the new carbon wrap round nose fish redux look amazing
