New stubby/alt DD options
- Thread starter tedshred5

Update?? Need more ride reports/reviews on H.E.
So far I think the light speed is a little flexier than I'd like. I yolo'd an upsized Bean Bag so it's short and thick and shouldn't be too flexy IMO. Not sure about an HPSB in this build for fatties (me).
I preferred the Carbon Wrap which I think is DONE as an option, and I'd probably order a Black Dart for something like a Bean Bag or PJ and a C4 for something like a Sub Driver, but the Black Dart and C4 I have were both used, so I dunno how sun/heat-protected they were.

Speaking of Alt DDs, anybody know anything/reports about the Panda Shrizz? A guy at my local swears by it. It looks kinda good too.
low key I agree. manny's carbon super stubbie has been amazingly good for me recently. the sharp edge is so crisp and gets into everything...it's unfortunate Justin bailed on him...now he only offers poly. i'm considering ordering an oracle twin delta v in the near future.
Took it out at overhead+ hanalei. May not be the best indiciator as it was solid, good shaped waves, but it went really well.
More of a user error on my end, but I should have brought a heavier board as the trades were super strong. I could feel myself almost getting pushed out of waves when paddling into them.
I'm here till the end of the month and should be surfing a mix of north/south so I should have a better feel for it then.
I've only surfed it three times in California in pretty weird mix of conditions (Pumping OBSF, Junk OBSF, shoulder high reef in SC)
Well timed question…. I’ll let you know in a week or so. That’s a 5’9 20 wide shrizz next to a 5’8 20.25 rnf for comparison
Just picked this up. HIC Striker. Designed and shaped by Kerry Tokoro. 5’9 x 20 1/4 x 2 3/4. Vol. 33.6 L. Single 4 oz. E-cloth bottom. Single 4 oz. S-cloth deck with front and rear foot patches.
Airbrush by Jeannie Chesser. Saw a pic online and had Jeannie do her take on it.
I’ve been riding a similar boar from last summer but went an 1/8” wider and an inch shorter. I requested Kerry thin the rails a little from the last boar. Wanting it to fit into the steep transitions of my summer regular. It’s marketed as HIC’s shortboar groveller but it has a lot of performance design in.
Gonna give it a go tomorrow morning.
I've got a Light Speed and Carbon Wrap. My SD2 is LS and def has more flex which feels ok in chest/shoulder + stuff. It doesn't really like small waves. Kind of a bummer since I got it as a east coast winter small wave board. I attributed the flex more to the board being more foiled out and longer/thinner than my CW Rad Ripper which I love. I guess it could also be the build. Would be curious to try a RR in LS but gonna keep this one till it dies.
Anyone been on an Uber Driver XL? I didn’t know it was a model but shop had a few stock. Looked good, maybe a slightly more versatile Rocket??
Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s been a ton of …Lost mentions lately??
Well they do work..... esp for us bigger dus in stock which makes them easy to get. Just got rid of my Rad "Dad" Ripper. Was a solid shape in this category. Soon to be replaced with TPat Synth84 with beefed up dims. Haven't ridden one but pretty much same design and seems to be a lot of hype.

Most of my recent boards have been twin+trailer. Personal preference, but it’s my default favorite. But I don’t think they really feel like twins. They feel (to me) like loose thrusters. The Shrizz is the first board I’ve had that feels like it has most of the drive and squirt of a straight twin. But it re-engages and doesn’t release when a twin would. I think a lot of guys here are really really good surfers and can anticipate/handle when a twin is about to slide out. I can‘t. So the Shrizz is kind of best of both worlds.
It also has a really big sweet spot. Take off in the white water and don’t land quite right, no problem. Foot a little far forward on a bottom turn, no problem. It’s kind of everything I thought the CI Bobby Quad was going to be.
