I also vote banjo, rode it in 4-6' reef waves today with occasional barrels and it was not at all out of it's element despite having a great low end.after much contemplation I’m thinking my Banjo fish takes it.
I admit it wasn’t love at first surf. Too many HP boards waiting to be ridden after the 2019-2020 doldrums of surf.
could make a two board quiver paired with a nice step up. consistently works knee to hh.
I agree.The Chumlee is amazing, its almost not fair. It works in a wide range of conditions. Not sure why they stopped making it.
Semente Catcher 5'11 20 1/8" 2 1/2" (31,6 square liters). Extremely boring board, but it surfs well. Bought it because I got it cheap.

I busted my Helium Chumlee and have been looking for another one. I got such an excellent deal on it when the local carriers were phasing it out, I should have bought 2. Now, a brand new has to be specially ordered from Firewire and it may take months to get it, in addition to taking a $1k hit on the wallet when you include tax and shipping.Right now: 7'6" Firewire Submoon TimberTek.
Ever: Firewire Chumlee (sold it, waiting for a smaller one)

But I agree, it's a great all around board. Works in all sorts of conditions and can be pushed to head or just slightly over. I admit its factory made, but had so many great, fun sessions in it. Improved my surfing a lot.
I've been doing some research on what other FW models come close or give the same feel. I held a Twice Baked but it feels chunkier and heavier, plus I am not a fan of the Timbertek look (who really likes those?)
I can't say enough about the Chumlee. As time goes on, I will need to face the possibility of NOT finding the size I want, used. I may need to bite the bullet and do a special / custom order.... I should have bought 2... great all around board... Improved my surfing a lot... Twice Baked but it feels chunkier and heavier...
