Aloha this is David , person that we reviewed on this his name is Daniel. he is a professional level surfer and his paddling powers really strong. He has really powerful legs. I think for most guys error on the little bit of volume doesn't hurt. It's the board feels a little bouncy. You can always use the Endorfins to make the board sit the leading edge of the fins are rounded, so it doesn't let the release as much in it holds. With the seaside, I totally know what you're talking about sometimes having a board with too much volume of foward some times It makes it hard to catch waves because you're fighting the volume on the nose. - David

@@hawaiiansouthshore Hi and thanks for your reply! I was meaning to ask the interviewer, who also said they had the 5'8 and is the same weight as me. Yeh the Seaside is very fun on its day but needs to be ridden super short due to the wide point, I feel. I sold mine and was going to size mine down to a 5'5/5'6, then saw this Avocado thing! :)

@@Craig-t2g Yes , I knew you were trying to shout out to Daniel in the video that was being interviewed. Im the person interviewing him. Daniel tried the Seaside but it was not his style of surfing. He's more of a HP Shortboarder. So as soon as you got on the Machado Cado he was stoked!! He's pretty picky about his boards and he's tried several other models and last year he settled into the sweet potato. Pretty much drove two boards into the ground. And he was searching for a new board since he was getting a little bored And he tried my Machado Cado and as you see in the video he's stoked. - David

You dont

@@hdeso I think i would rather have 2 seasides 😀

Seaside doesn’t go up and down well is why I would get one of these.

Sorry! It’s Dano 🤙🏼

What construction and size is the RNF? Where are you usually surfing? Are you here in Honolulu? -David

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@hawaiiansouthshoreI’d like but unfortunately no. Lib tech construction, 5.7, usually surfing beach breaks around french southwest coast (Basque Country and Landes). Cheers

@@felipep2666 If you looking into the Lane Splitter he has two size in your rage 5’8 19 3/4 x 2 9/16 31.1L 5’9 19 7/8 x 2 5/8 32.52L if the current 32 feels like a litle to much float go for the 31L. The Libtechs float close to a regular Poly so I think that will be OK You can always change then fins on your RNF96 Libtech V32 If your surfing it as a 2+1 try the Fanning Twin+1 link below www.hawaiiansouthshore.com/products/fcs-ii-mick-fanning-twin-1-fin-performance-core-white?_pos=1&_psq=fanning&_ss=e&_v=1.0 The leading edge of the fins are rounded so it make the board sit , not make it feel so floaty and how thru turns. Here is a reveiw that might help ua-cam.com/video/ZHf4tCFFJLQ/v-deo.htmlsi=0qwCliPBMnfUWgeP

⁠@@hawaiiansouthshore Thanks guys that was very helpful. I have the chance to get a 5.7 swallow tail 29.3L for a reduce price, would you consider would be too big the jump (volume) ?considering I want it for surf fair to good conditions in a range 3-5ft. Thanks for the advice I currently surf MR 2+1 but I gonna have a look on the MF review. Cheers

@@felipep2666 it all depends on your paddling power, if you're surfing it on beach brakes that are not very powerful. I wouldn't go down too much but if you're surfing, a reef break in a shallow you'll probably be able to get away with it but when the waves get better and you're sitting in a deep water break. It might be harder.

😂😂

oh right on!! stoked it helped We had a team rider try my board out and he was loving it!! He's super picky and he usually does not settle for something that just kind of works for him. Which I like because he's not one of those team writers that are write anything and say it's good. I like to get proper real feedback and not just get a bunch of fluff all the time.. - DAvid

Stoked! Where are you surfing?

​@@hawaiiansouthshore Melbourne Beach FL. I'm 6,2 riding the 5,11. 2 foot crap to 5 foot glass, the board goes.

@@sebastiancolombey2239 OH right on!!!

YES I really like the Great White for sure! I totally know what you are saying and I thought the same thing about the nose digging but I didn't have any issue. The first time I rode it was with the Machado 2+1 and it felt really loose in the beginning Then I use the Rastovich 2+ one which by the way is the futures, in-house favorite fins. I'd like to way better, it had drive and hold your turns. After a few sessions I tried it again with the Machado 2+1. The waves were flat and not standing up and it was really good, especially for my my backside. I guess I just had to get used to the looseness of the board with those fins. I still have the Great White, I like to use it when the surf is a little better. I was using the El Tomo twin for three years then when I rode the Great White instantly, I knew it replaced that board. - David

Nope

Thank you very much Mark did such an excellent job...stoked we redid it... Our first interview, we were both kind of not feeling it so we ended up redoing it. Glad we did.. - DAvid

Im 175/180lbs riding the 5'8" x 21 1/2" x21/2" x 34.4L. easy to paddle into the waves even on small junk knee high reef break. - David

Yeah!! I've been riding for the past 9 days....loving it ...fast and loose..foam is distributed evenly so not fighting the volume in the nose. 2+1 with Rasta for drive and hold thru turns. - David

Are you asking if this is similar to the biscuit? To me no Maybe the bottom contours This one have a wider taiI more even distribution of foam I believe the biscuit has more of a rounded squash, way more thicker under the chest from what I remember .....but it's been a long time since I seen one. It would be really cool to make a biscuit..we have a many in Hawaii that are short and stocky and that's a perfect board for them. - David

aloha Gram it's these fins www.hawaiiansouthshore.com/products/futures-britt-merrick-twin?_pos=1&_psq=bmt&_ss=e&_v=1.0 - David

Amazing thank you. Is there an FCS alternative you could recommend? Many thanks !

@@grahamcampbell2937 Yes this is the exact same fins...it says large and that's the only size it comes in. Link below. - David www.hawaiiansouthshore.com/products/fcs-ii-britt-merrick-twin-fin-performanrce-glass-large-smoke-color?_pos=3&_fid=af9d6afb0&_ss=c

Totally agree ! Stoked to be able to have someone that can help me - David

oh right on!! Thank you glad we redid it..-DAvid

Tod....way to nice brother!!! I really appreciate the support and Thanks for being so understanding ~! -David

Thank you!

When the finger start tapping, you know it’s a good one

The funniest part of the video is when he first puts it under his arm, looks straight ahead and gives it kind of the pose freaking hilarious

Totally agree!!! - David

I totally agree... I'm in my mid 50s and I usually write short boards but I took this out. It was really fun easy to turn. I don't need to step on the tail.. - David

🤙

We are super stoked when he entered the door 😁

@hawaiiansouthshore I surfed with this king back in 1995 in Sebastián Beach ⛱️ Florida and this champ is amazing

@@aloha209 I totally agree. He's so down to earth and doesn't have that invisible barrier or some people in his position usually have. - David

The testing they did on their promo videos is actually conducted by University of Miami. But if you don't believe in it, don't wear it nobody's forcing you to wear it. If you don't believe in it don't use it nothing's 100%.

Yes thats because they are in Florida but they have been working with UH and NOAA and getting some good results. You can also check this out instagram.com/p/CaNUcyOlgZ7/ A test with bull sharks

Wow thank you very much. Super stoked on the comment 🤙🏽

I dont remember we just pulled a random size from the rack. - David

mmm maybe. That creatures of leisures set of fins are 60/40 rear quads. - David

Sorry not sure we dont carry soft tops - David

We have FW Rentals , check out our website and book a board. 2 days of rental fees goes towards a new board as long as you purchase the board in 30 days. Some guys will use the board in the morning and switch it out with another board in the afternoon and come back to the next day. We allow that too without extra charge.. - David

I asked the guys at FW to help out on this and here is the reply - The Omni will hold and work better in a more pockety wave, it has a pulled in round pin tail vs the Cyamtic with that wider bat tail which gives the Omni more bite and grab in steeper waves. The Omni is geared for better hollower waves and more trust worthy then the cymatic in steeper faces. The Cymatic will grovel better in smaller waves and I feel it works best in waves from 2-4ft as the Omni is more geared toward 3-6ft waves. Both I would recommend at quad fin set ups.

@@hawaiiansouthshore thanks for getting back to me on that. I had a Cymatic and it did surprisingly well on steep faces. Never tried it in hollow waves though but it sounds like Omni is a step up version of the Cymatic. Good to know. I regret selling my Cymatic and hope to find another one someday 🙏🏾

@@surfininmy40s No worries! - David

🤙🤙

Yeah! 🤙

Stoked you like the reveiw!!

Im not sure if that's possible. - David

I surf this with the Mark Richards 2+1, but if you want to twin fin it, I'd recommend using Keel fins. - David
