Craig did a nice review on the POD v. Pod Mod.
Noel has a pretty good review on the Pod Mod from almost a decade ago and it looks fun. I didn't know that "Surf and Show" was originally named "Surf Show and Tell". Good on him for making the name change. Also, his surfing looks sharp.

you gotta love the body english on the final close out turn - throwing the upper body and shoulders into that JJF no-claim slouch claim.
I refuse to get sucked into the prospect of Reforester buying a non-Tomo. Weeks of soliciting advice, figuring out hobbit dims, and then when it’s time to pull the trigger…
Nothin.
such a tease. Won’t get fooled again. LOL

Wizard sleeve is a good wave board.
FWIW during the 2010-2011 winter (with the exception of a handful of huge days) I rode only two boards.
The Pod and The Wizard Sleeve. Both stock 5’8
Pod for up to around shoulder high and the WS for everything above that up as large as I could catch.
i was in full ironman shape so my paddling ability was at a lifetime best.
That was my peak of surfing, it’s been down hill ever since….
I reflexively want to downvote anything by Salsa. It's not personal.
I"ve only been riding my GG Modfish 2 in a quad for a year. I wish I'd gotten the 5 fin so I could try it as a thruster. Great boar but I can't tell how much my bottom turns are affected.
Isn’t that the conditions lotsa bros would get that thing for and the conditions it was designed for??
He included
width 12” from nose n tail,
rocker numbers
showed the bottom running a straight edge over it.
Showed the rail in his hand mid board n at the tail with his hand gripping it to show the rail profile…
n without the clueless arm chair expert techno babble bull$hit.
The categories n number rating thing are goofy as fck…. That being said I got way more useful info from this than Salsa review of it.

Funny… when came to the west coast for the first time in the late 80s (San Diego) I was fckn gagging on everyone’s “style” … there wasn’t really any. As an impressionable teen was so surprised & disappointed in the weak $hit surf, $hit style n cry baby winey bitch accents and attitude.you gotta love the body english on the final close out turn - throwing the upper body and shoulders into that JJF no-claim slouch claim.
Most folks, even good surfers can look pretty goofy in tiny $hit waves. …. the Skipper is an exception to that general rule.

Everyone’s mom surfs in San Diego - The average style is to belly into white water, knees before feet and go straight.
The surf relatability was an 11/10.
Giving that board a duck diving rating in that surf is 2/10 would not bang.
In the 1980s … in the middle of winter?? I don’t remember seeing any chicks in the water…plenty of grown men in booties w like 60 deg water - are those the peolle you’re referring to as moms, n kooks don’t have style
I was referencing actual surfers

My friend's mom used to surf in Central Florida in the middle of winter in the 80s. She was cool.
"Oh wow the entire stretch of beach where the jetty blocks the wind is crowded. Son, look North, Sharkbiscuit, look South. I'll look straight out. Wherever the kooks are, we'll want to sit on them for the wave count."

It was almost non-stop medium sized swells with some bombers tossed in. It coincided with me being in the best shape of my life and losing a big client so I had tons of free time on my hands.Dat was a very good fall/winter 805 year my son graduated from hs and last real good winter we have had since
