I ordered two custom boards from Tim in my Small Wave Performance board dimensions for 1-4’ surf. Both boards have the same dimensions but one is PU and the other is EPS with a unique carbon layup. My first session the waves were 3-5’ and the EPS Habanero did NOT disappoint. Good paddler, solid off the bottom, great down the line speed, smooth rail to rail transitions, and great projection through maneuvers. As the waves dropped to 1-3’ both boards continued to perform well as a Thruster and Quad. I expected the EPS to go well in the smaller surf but I had doubts concerning the PU performing well due to it being a little heavier. To my surprise the PU was spicy as a Quad offering great projection and pop from turn to turn with a good set of Speed Generating fins. The Habanero is a “Favorite” of mine for 2019 and I highly recommend it as a 1 board quiver in 1-6’ surf. This model best suits intermediate to pro level surfers looking for high performance surfing in a variety of wave conditions and sizes. Board DIMS PU & EPS: 5’6” x 19 x 2.31 Liters 25.6 My Height: 5’9” My weight: 160 lbs or 72.57 kg EPS Board Weight: 4.90 lbs PU Board Weight: 5.60 lbs Recommended Fins: Futures (Thruster) Legacy R6 – R8 Honeycomb or Beta 2.0 Vapor Core Prototype Futures (Quad) Medium Stretch Speed Generating Fins or HS1 Generation

Outstanding review Noel! Tim Stamps is a cool guy!

Daniel Perlaky - 5 years ago

Well done Noel, I've been thinking the on location interviews with shapers adds a really nice element and some great input from the creators. And it's always great to find a true one board quiver that can match a lot of conditions. Cool to learn about the impact of fins on that too.

I love it! RADAR. Those cutties looked great. Nice waves as well.

Kapukataumahaka Ōwheo - 5 years ago

You seemed to surf it similar to the way that you surf the Rocket Wide. Also, cool the way you reviewed and interviewed a local shaper who looks like a real nice guy. Get Stamps to NZ!

Habanero vs the ToMo cymatic? Any thoughts?

Jerry Axley - 5 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for your reply and a great review on the habanero!

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Jerry Axley Habanero will go better in smaller waves, Cymatic a little more agile in the pocket in bigger surf.

This guy will surf a door if you give him one.

GeniusUnleashed - 5 years ago

This board looks amazing under your feet. I don't think I've seen you surf that effortlessly to date. Your front side bottom turns on the larger waves were what I try to achieve; not a ton of effort but amazing drive and stability for vertical snaps. Great surfing. I'm definitely going to check out that board.

GeniusUnleashed Cheers... epic board and easy to surf.

technoskill - 5 years ago

Surfing looks on point Noel. Stoked you finally got on some of Tim's boards. He's a great shaper and super down to earth human.

Definitely suits your style of surfing.

Roger Pye - 5 years ago

Thanks for the nice review. How would you compare this board to the Rocket Wide?

Surf n Show Reviews - 5 years ago

Roger Pye RW might carry a little more down the line speed but this Habanero offers more performance surfing and it can handle bigger surf due to it having more rocker.
